Lies My Teacher Told Me (QuakerBooks)

Lies My Teacher Told Me

Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong

BY JAMES LOEWEN

Brief Description:
After surveying 18 leading American history texts the author found not one made a good job of making history interesting or memorable. Marred by an embarrassing combination of blind patriotism, mindless optimism, sheer misinformation, and outright lies, these books omit almost all the ambiguity, passion, conflict, and drama from our past. In this revised edition, packed with updated material, Loewen explores how historical myths continue to be perpetuated in today's climate and adds an eye-opening chapter on the lies surrounding 9/11 and the Iraq War. Thought provoking, nonpartisan, and often shocking.
