As a nation, we are losing the connection to our heritage. · A study by the U.S. Department of Education found that only 12 percent of high school seniors were proficient in American history. · The Intercollegiate Studies Institute gave a similar test to college seniors at 50 institutions around the country, including Harvard and Yale. The average grade was an F. · Among the general public, 70 percent of adults are not aware that the Constitution is the supreme law of the land, according to a Newsweek poll. I am the author of American History in No Time, a quick and easy way for anyone to learn the basics – in just a few hours. It is also the perfect refresher and a great way for parents and grandparents to ensure that their families know the fundamentals. The book has been used at a number of colleges but is easy for anyone to understand, even children and people who haven’t liked history before. Nothing else can give someone a solid foundation in so short a time.
