Randolph Russell is the author of American History In No Time.  The history of America is an amazing story, but all too unfamiliar. American History in No Time is the quickest way to get up to speed with the essentials - what everyone should learn and not forget. The book is an overview of the key events, people, places, and principles divided into small sections that can be read in around five minutes each. The entire book can be read in just a few hours.

Russel has been welcomed by numerous audiences across the country, including more than 100 Rotary clubs.  Russell points out that a recent study by the U.S. Department of Education found that only 12% of high school seniors were proficient in American history. According to a poll by the Freedom Forum Institute, only one out of a thousand adults can name all the freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment, and many do not know that July 4 was the date the Declaration of Independence was adopted. 

Russell stresses the importance of our history and that it should be a larger part of the curriculum in our schools. He voiced a fear that we may be losing control of our future because we are not remembering our past. Feeling an urgent need for a quick refresher on American history, he structured his book to be a concise and captivating look at the events of our past.
