Americans have lost touch with their history, and in this thought-provoking book,
Professor James Loewen shows why. After surveying twelve leading high school
American history texts, he has concluded that not one does a decent 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 ten pow¬
erful chapters. Loewen reveals that:
•
The United States dropped three times as manyr tons of explosives in Vietnam as
it dropped in all theaters of World War II, including Hiroshima and Nagasaki
•
Ponce
de Leon
went to Florida mainly to capture Native Americans as slaves for
Hispaniola, not to find the mythical fountain of youth
•
Woodrow Wilson, known as a progressive leader, was in fact a white supremacist
who personally vetoed a clause on racial equality in the Covenant of the League
of Nations
•
The first colony to legalize slavery was not Virginia but Massachusetts
From the truth about Columbus s historic voyages to an honest evaluation of our
national leaders, Loewen revives our history, restoring to it the vitality and relevance
it truly possesses.
