I am preparing from these 4 sources:
1) U.S History for Dummies by Steve Wiegand (concise, readable, well-structured and covers all important events from what I've read so far)
2) These Truths: A History of the United States (covers all important events and dates, quotes historically relevant people, but also provides some commentary particularly on slavery which you can skip if you want)
3) History dot com: This is a truly amazing website for preparation.
4) Khanacademy: Another valuable Internet source.
I have abandoned A People's History precisely because it was more of a narrative written in favor of the oppressed and the victims of the entire history of US.
