What? You don’t know what a Burgess is? — You can’t outline the Monroe Doctrine? — Recall the 14th Amendment? — Explain the difference between a sputnik and a beatnik?

Then you need The Cartoon History of the United States to fill those gaps. From the first English colonies to the Gulf War and the S&L debacle, Larry Gonick spells it all out from his unique cartoon perspective.

Larry Gonick has been creating comics that explain history, science, math, and other big subjects for more than forty years. His books have sold millions of copies worldwide and have been translated into more than twenty-five languages.
