What I'm interested is not simple American History, but I would like to read books to understand why Americans are the way they are.

Really?

Why they think that this country is the top of the world and nothing else counts? Why are they interested only in what is going on in their own backyard and don't care about their neighbors, and especially not the rest of the world? Why the East and West coasts are more liberal than the middle of the country? Why don't they travel outside their borders? Why don't they care about anything else but their own wellbeing?

With all those stereotypes you already believe in, it sounds like you already know all you want to about America and Americans.

I can't imagine that actually reading any books would change your mind.
