While a good portion of it becoming common knowledge, this book does an excellent job at surveying popular American History textbooks and compares the prevalence of certain topics which the author considers under-appreciated or mis-taught in schools. While I didn't agree with the author in the importance of certain subject matter, and the author's liberal bias begins to show more readily during the labor chapters, it doesn't minimize the heroification of American History found in textbooks.

I liked the premise of the book but hated the author's tone.
It's eye opening and embarrassing. I'm intrigued enough to read up more on the topic.
