Lies My Teacher Told Me:Everything Your American History Textbook Got
Wrong
http://www.uvm.edu/~jloewen/liesmyteachertoldme/liesmyteacher.html
A book for everyone of the American Empire.
Sorry, but my reading time is currently spent on teaching myself the immense
amount of knowledge that was not covered -- if even alluded to -- in
my school years.
A good book, though. If you didn't already know the low reliability of US
history as it's taught in US schools, it would be worth reading. But then,
surely *all* the people on this list know the ppor quality of the history
that's taught in *their own country's* schools. I would not for a moment
suggest that the only people who understand that are (a subset of)
Americans.
