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

5.0

I am so lucky I had an awesome teacher who went beyond the textbook and taught us critical thinking, but this book (written in the mid-1990s) is still pertinent today in showing the effects of dismal, watered-down American history on the perceptions and voting patterns of Americans today. A must-read for anyone interested in learning more about American History than they did in 11th grade.
