Looking for a dense and academic book on the entirety of US history(perhaps not all the way up to modern day, but whatever you know what I mean).
As a non-American i've become really interested in American history, especially when I hear about things like the Whiskey Rebellion for the first time and I've now finished the Federalist papers.
What is the best book on American history? When I try to search for it 98% of all the answers are "A People's History of the United States", which is obviously not the kind of book i'm looking for.

If you read German, then Karlheinz Deschner's Moloch. PDFs somewhere online.
Also, Bryce's American Commonwealth.

>Also, Bryce's American Commonwealth.

It's quite old though, how does it stack up against more modern books of History?

>The American Commonwealth
The more I read about it, the less I think it was what I was looking for. I might get it anyway thought since it looks really interesting but I'd like some other suggestions for some proper books of history on the United States.

The Great Republic by Winston Churchill is a great book on USA written by a Briton who had an American mother

The Oxford History of the United States is pretty good. I'd say the first three volumes there are the best ones. I can't really help with more recent US history though.

Readers of French can skip to the good stuff and read this study instead: https://elementsdeducationraciale.wordpress.com/2013/09/22/anti-amerique/
