Reader comments
I especially like the parts about history and culture in the book. I feel like I can learn a lot. Moreover, each article has the original English text and reading reflections at the end, which is also very helpful for learning English. I think this book is a bit like "A Brief History of the United States", which can make people understand the culture and history of the United States. The old leader in the book left a deep impression on me. He is very wise and courageous. You will definitely like him after reading it!
