Songs Sung Red, White, and Blue: The Stories Behind America's Best-Loved Patriotic Songs

If you are going to write a book about the history of some of our most best-loved patriotic songs, be sure to include the lyrics to all the songs. Though Collins includes many versions of some songs (original, North Version/South Version, and later additions), on some of the songs, he completely leaves out the lyrics. Other than that little annoyance, I enjoyed reading about the histories of these classic songs.

I feel the need to ask - was the missing lyrics the only reason to bring it down to a 2 star rating, or was there more?

I read this over 2 years ago, so I don't remember too many of the details of the book. What I do remember was that I found it frustrating not having the lyrics available. I thought that would be nice to include them when you are discussing a particular song. The book was ok, so I gave it 2 stars, which is "ok" according to Goodreads grading scale.
