Lies My Teacher Told Me

Author: James Loewen
Stars: 5
Review by: John

Reveals quite a bit of history while explaining the impact of politics on high school history textbooks. Helps the reader understand why history textbooks are so bland and boring. Even presents some evidence that greater exposure to such textbooks leads to less knowledge of history! Very readable too. A fantastic book. Warning: you'll never look at a statue or historical marker the same way again!
