Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong by James W. Loewen

4.0

Hopefully most of the history here won't be news to anybody who took college level history courses, but for anybody that only has a high school level understanding of history, especially from before the 90s, there may be some surprises. I was surprised to learn how overtly racist Woodrow Wilson was and how that translated into backwards foreign policy across Latin America.

It was also interesting to hear another perspective critical of the textbook selection process.
