I highly recommend REA’s Crash Course. It’s a concise book that covers everything you need to know, including extra sections on famous events in history, key people, WOMEN TRENDS (Very important! One of the AP exam writers happens to be a historian specializing in women history!), and a list of the most popular terms/vocab that shows up on the AP exams.

I also recommend the MEH book, although it is pretty lengthy. It covers political history VERY well, and (dare I say) is detailed enough to correctly answer just about every single question on the AP exam relating to that. However, it lacks a lot in social and women history, so I would suggest using the REA Crash Course or even the PR book to complement it, reviewing over those topics when necessary.

Also, Dark Knight did a very thorough and great analysis of the MEH book and the REA Crash Course, which can be seen here: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/ap-tests-preparation/875911-ap-euro-book-best-ultimate-test.html Go check it out!
