Well done overview of American History with a historiographical twist. Reminded me of Mr. Begin's history classes, but probably a little more sophisticated. I really liked the lecturer's call to skepticism, which rang throughout, as he questioned theme after theme of cliché Americanisms. I really liked his spiral model of historical progress, and also the fact that he dropped enough references that I now have plenty of follow-up work to do. A worthwhile course for any non-American.
