<human>: I've been trying to learn more about the history of the United States. Can you recommend any good books?
<bot>: I would suggest starting with "The Story of America" by Susan Wise Bauer. It is a comprehensive overview that covers everything from pre-Columbian cultures to modern day politics and social movements. You can also check out "American History for Dummies" by James W. Loewen, which provides an easy-to-understand introduction to American history.
