    Just an update to let you know that I have enjoyed the Bennett books very much. His America, The Last Best Hope series is well written and engaging. Volume 3 goes up through 2009. At this point I do plan to recommend them for the Modern history module revision for grades 10–12.

    The only drawback is that some swearing is quoted in original citations. (Unfortunately, I’m finding that to be the rule rather than the exception with most books covering modern history.) It is by no means prevalent or sensationalized, but it is sprinkled throughout when quoting original sources at times.

    Sonya, do you think you should post your remarks on a new post so that those with older children studying the Modern Time period will know what you’re talking about if they’re not drawn to the original post and what we were talking about?

    Just an idea…

    Thanks,

    Rachel

    Good idea. I’ll do that.
