Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong
by James W. Loewen
What DO you actually learn in high school? What of the copious amounts of dates and names should be stressed, pedagogically? Which content is even remotely correct? How does the time in which a textbook is written affect the message in that textbook, and what kind of spin is coded into the pages? This book shines a light on all of these questions, and leaves one wanting to fight for truth to prevail, rather than regurgitated untruths. (5/5 stars)
