Title: I wish I had liked it more
Review: I heard great things about this book from all my friends, and I normally love this sort of thing that buries lefty myths and takes a hardline approach to our history. But I didn't like this book very much at all. Mostly because it just reiterated the things we all know and believe about American History, instead of contributing to explaining problems with what we believe. I was very troubled once when I made the same point Woods make about the US having a common heritage to a friend from the North, and he pointed out that in southern schools people are taught that the early history of the US was about Jamestown, and that in the North they're taught about Plymouth. Not the same religion, and in fact a civil war happened about that in England. PLus, slavery's too absent in this book. All in all it makes it less convincing than it should have been. If you read, read it carefully.
