The author himself acknowledged that US History is so diverse and complex that many, if not most, American historians or students of history focus on a specific time frame or social movement (Civil War, Reconstruction, Civil Rights, Cold War, etc etc). So tackling US History in a one volume book is a three way balancing act with covering events on an international level with how the US fits in, a domestic national level, and finally a local level.

I think a third party perspective can be pretty interesting.

I think you can see Khitomer from here. Maybe.
