"The book truly brings history alive. I read excerpts from the book in a speech I gave on Memorial Day. I was told by many in attendance that it made the Omaha Beach landing so vivid that they had Goosebumps - some were moved to tears. I highly recommend this book. I will enjoy it for many years to come."

"This is a wonderful book that tells American history in a most unique way. This book is an undiscovered gem that would be a marvelous tool for classroom instruction. The quaility of this book, coupled with its creative way of telling American history, causes me to wonder why it is not being used in classrooms nationwide."

"The book is excellent. My kids read almost the whole book the first night we took it out of the shipping box! The book leaves one with a sense of pride in the U.S. without making it political. As a firm centrist, my antennae are out for right wing/left wing propaganda and I didn't see it in this book. In fact, it does what I thought was impossible these deeply divided days: it explains all sides of an issue and then makes one feel proud to be American. This is a book that should be read by everyone, not just children!"

"I'm infatuated with this book! Incredible and moving photographs. I cried reading it. I would recommend this book for all ages. We need to be as children."

"It is refreshing to see historic events presented in a complete and unbiased way. I was particularly touched by the way the book brings forth a great truth: virtue is within our grasp; the exercise of such virtue by one person can truly make a difference for humanity. This book is a useful reminder that our world is always made better when one places their skills and talents at the service of others."

"Finally, an entertaining book that accurately portrays what hard work and creativity accomplished in 20th century America! Both my daughters loved it! But my favorite chapter was about Apollo 11. There was so much detail I felt like I was there on the moon with the astronauts. And the notes were filled with interesting (and little known) scientific and historical facts. The only way Anthony could have known the details was if he was really there!"

"What an amazing book!!! I mean it. I'm half-way through it and I'm astounded on every page. The research and footnoting make all the difference. The chapter on Lindbergh was especially moving."

"A challenging book. Not always easy, but very worthwhile. Makes you think. Surprising in many ways. The book sparked serious discussion with my daughters on several issues. There is no other book that covers our country's history in a more accurate and clear manor for children. Many adults I shared this book with have been in awe over it's accurate depiction of the most important events of our time: those adults have purchased the book for their children and grandchildren. Nothing in our schools comes close to giving our children such a complete and visually exciting depiction of history."

"The stories connected me with people and events so vividly that I started exploring more. I delved into my own family history on the Ellis Island Web site, listened to a CD about the moon landing, and read the newspaper with renewed curiosity about my world. The book itself is a doorway to ideas and imparts an almost sensory experience of great moments in America’s past."

"I heard about this book and bought it because I thought my middle schooler would like it. She loves it because it makes learning about history fun and interesting, and, as parents, we are really enjoying it. The book is extremely comprehensive and, at the same time, fun to read with the pictures of Anthony in each piece of history. The categorized list of movies, books and other references in the back is wonderful. I bought this book for my father who enjoys history. This book is a real treasure and keepsake."

"It's like two books in one! I read Anthony's Story first, all nine chapters. Then I read the notes section from start to finish. The notes section was like a book in itself, full of interesting facts and short stories. I couldn't put it down."

"I'm the son of an Italian immigrant and retired from the military, so the story about World War II and Anthony's great-grandfather's immigration from Italy were my favorite chapters. The chapters brought back vivid memories of my childhood and the time I spent in Europe. Michael S. Class can really tell a war story and I hope he'll consider writing a book that tells the whole story of Anthony's great-grandfather's life in America."
