WillisAfter reading several history books by this author; I've found him a reliable source for presenting facts; drawing timelines; delineating events and personages; and placing it all in a sensible and comprehensible framework. He has an enjoyable writing manner; emphasizing positives; and inspires readers to research further for themselves; using his work as a background springboard. In AMERICAN HISTORY; William D. Willis presents a more in-depth narrative of the extensive and varied history of the United States.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
