Lies My Teacher Told Me for Young Readers: Everything American History Textbooks Get Wrong by James W. Loewen, Rebecca Stefoff

informative medium-paced

4.5

The book seems one sided compared to todays political debates on history, however it appears honest because history does not seem nearly as light or good as we were taught growing up, which is pretty much the point of the book. I wish there was a way for it to portray history in a way that would not put those who hero-fy the US on the defensive, but to be fair, there may not be a way cause like all nations, we’re not the good guy.
