Have you read the entire Oxford US History series? I have the entire series up to 1945, minus 1896-1929 as that hasn't been published yet. we homeschool our children and my plan is to read those over the next two years to base my teaching of US History to our children when they enter high school. Yes, I'm aware that only provides a one author perspective; multiple authors as each book has a different one. Though at 10,000 dense pages it seems sufficient.

I have not but they're ceetainly going on my reading list after this one. Considering that this is yet another history book which is de-programming me from my own awful public school/hollywood led history educatiom I would think it would make a very good basis for a realistic and practical understanding of American history.

What years does it cover?

Edit-looks like 1763 onward. Very much left out there.

Seven Years War (The Crucible of War, that is not actually an Oxford history book) - 1974. I don't have the volume from 1945-1974 yet. I have a few other history books covering that period to present. Penguin has a similar series on European history from the Romans to 2017; I currently have three volumes covering 1814-2017.

Do you have a link to the Penguin series? That seems interesting as well, especially given the time range.

Sorry for the delay in the answer, here is the link to the European History - https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/series/PHE/the-penguin-hi....

Given the delay here is a bonus link to the Lost Civilizations Series by Chicago Press - https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/series/RB-LC.html
