So while strolling through Barnes and Noble, I had the most interesting experience when I stumbled acrossed this book. As one who is highly interested in History and how the world has been portrayed by the victors and the dominant people of the time. This book is highy informative, though biased at times towards certain History books. I suggest that everyone who has any interest in History, though there are so few of you, to read this book and establish your own views about how accurately the book analyzes American History and how it is taught to you.
Just to see if their is any possible way to get people to read this book, I will now attempt to bring in some of the highlights that I have come acrossed in the book. For example, who believes that Columbus first "discovered" America? How about the Vikings? True they were ones who visited the Western Hemisphere but they obviously weren't the first to discover it simply because of the fact that there were inhabitants on the continent before they arrived. But who is often credited with "discovering" America? This is one of the many things the book dissects over the 300 some pages. The best part of the book, its not a blatant whining of a man but a well researched and highly informed depiction of what is actually said in the history books that are used in high schools throughout America.
For those that are far to lazy to read a 300 page book, I suggest that you at least consider what is being taught and not always take everything for face value and assume that it is the whole truth and everything that contradicts it is a blatant lie.
