This national best seller is an entertaining, informative, and sometimes
shocking expose of the way history is taught to American students. Lies
My Teacher Told Me won the American Book Award and the Oliver Cromwell
Cox Award for Distinguished Anti-Racist Scholarship.James W. Loewen,
a sociology professor and distinguished critic of history education,
puts 12 popular textbooks under the microscope, and what he discovers
will surprise you. In his opinion, every one of these texts fails to
make its subject interesting or memorable. Worse still is the
proliferation of blind patriotism, mindless optimism, and misinformation
filling the pages.From the truth about Christopher Columbus to the harsh
reality of the Vietnam War, Loewen picks apart the lies we've been told.
This is a book that will forever change your view of the past.
