This book is a very terse telling of the history of the Episcopal Church. But it did give all of the key names and events which gives a person enough to dig deeper if desired.

Decent Introduction, nothing more

As a newer member of the Anglican communion, this book gave a very brief and very general overview. It helped place certain aspects in context but did not go much further. A complete understanding of the Anglican communion or the Episcopal Church may not be possible. However, for a lay person or someone who wants a general overview to place what they learned in confirmation- this can be surprisingly useful.
