Well, I supplemented with a whoppin' book called "A Patriot's History of the United States" but you don't necessarily need it per se. I would, however, take a look at all of the US history sections offered here:
History Study Guides - SparkNotes
REA tends to just hit the highlights and not really give you all the details. However, be sure and take all the REA practice exams and read the answer explanations. Then a lot of times I go back and take them again to see if I remember the right answer.
Then take the practice CLEP in the Offical Clep book and see how you do.
Good luck!
