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

3.0

---

Good book so far. Most of this material has been covered by others and nothing seems to be remarkable about this "history". But for many who do not know the lies we live with everyday (as far as how we were taught history), then this may be new or useful information. I try to read books like this with the thought that history is not one story, it is really only perception. Everyone has a different perception of what took place and to tell "one" history is to leave another in the dirt.
