Better than Landet utanför: Sverige och kriget 1939-1940 by Henrik Berggren? Really?

Sounds like this book has a serious number of issues.

#6Anyone have a suggestion for American history? I am looking for something that focuses on how America grew into the leading world power in such a short amount of time comparatively.

Pairing A Patriot's History and A People's History makes for some interesting perspective. They don't really offer explicit points/counterpoints, but they certainly frame things differently over similar time periods (which cover America's coming of age to a powerful world presence).

When you make such extraordinary subjective claims, please also bother write a small blurb as to what you found so enthralling about it. Because from I read, people are calling out this book out for its terrible bloopers and the author not doing his homework on facts.

Seems that the reviewer himself, S. J. Snyder, attributes a number of errors just based on his interpretative ideological slant.

I know these books are great but do you know any book which is shorter read, sitting around 1000 pages each those are quite heavy reads
