This magazine is GREAT. It covers the things you may know in history, but also tells the 'whole story'. The stories cover from 1492 to Post WWII. This magazine is the only one I have found that tells the full whole history in a easy to read interesting format. I would reccomend it for all Americans who want to know the true interesting history of America and not the shallow 3 minute news driven or HollyWood slanted history.
How much do you remember from your American Government class? What are the main purposes of the three branches of government? What are the six foundations on which the government was founded? What role do third parties have in the electoral process? The press is always commenting on the deplorable state of knowledge amongst the American citizenry. Here is an overview of United States Government and Politics that can help you answer these and more questions while leading to further information and study.
