Lies My Teacher Told Me

I wish I had this book when I was in high school, before I took any history classes. The book lays out many of the “lies” people in the US learn about our history in great detail in the first part of the book. So much detail, that I was wondering how he could fit everything in at the rate he was covering issues, but I guess that would be an impossible task, he just covers the most glaring problems. Then, at the end he walks through what he thinks could change in our educational system. I was less into the latter portion most of the way through, but by the end I was feeling hopeful that at least some of the changes would come to pass. Now, I'll pass this book on to my friends and family, I think anyone can learn something from this book!
