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

5.0

I love reading the negative reviews of this book, because they're always like, "This is liberal propaganda with a huge bias to make you feel White Guilt!" and I'm like, "You know that, historically, certain groups of people have done some bonkers-ass shit that has been completely whitewashed from our textbooks, but you think it's bias to point out that it was often the same people over and over again?" Unreal.

This book is depressing and important as hell. Read it with Howard Zinn's History of the People.
