Title: The worst History book I have ever read
Product review: History means objectivity. This book is full of subjective statements about facts, wrong or inexistent documentation in many of its assertions, and a clear bias in its writing. Paul Johnson tries to convince us that the History of the U.S. has been a difficult journey with a magical, divine end. Statements like 'for the first time in human history', 'the most important achievement of mankind', 'unknown in the rest of the world' abound.I was looking forward to finishing the book already after twenty pages. I would rather call this book 'Stories of the American people'. Let us be serious.I recommend the book as a good background reading before watching 'Independence day', or as a complement of Henry Kissinger's memoirs.
