A review by nssutton
The Kingdom on the Waves by M.T. Anderson

4.0

i didn't take to this with the same ripping pace as i did the first. i can't tell whether or not my having to read a few books for my materials in ya class made this seem longer, or if it was the language, or the historical context or simply war. it didn't win me the way the first did, but in this part i found what teaching history to students should be all about. i'm still flabbergasted when i think of all the misconceptions i was taught in elementary & high school - i wish this book had been around to balance out those nationalistic tales with a hint of truth and depth.
