What do you suggest books about American history?

by zirlatovic

If I am more specifical, I'm looking for chronicle books about American History. For example, In 1xxx, this happened, cause a did b, as a consequence xyz occurred. After two years, Xas did something, so They moved.

I admire separation of powers in USA political system and I guess Individual is freedom in daily life. I wonder how did this happen. Can you recommend books on this topic?

By the way, I hear two books about USA History; A People's History of The United States by howard zinn and the Pocket History of the United States by Allan Nevins ,Henry Steele Commage.

Are they good? What do you think?

Here's a review of Zinn by u/CommodoreCoCo. As for books, I highly recommend the Oxford History of the United States, which is a series of books each focusing on a specific era of US history. It's also narrative history which makes it really enjoyable to read.
