Review title: Caveat emptor
Product review: There is much here that is useful and important, but Loewen is, alas, quite a screechy advocate of his positions, not all of which he satisfactorily defends. Instead of puncturing myths, he often digresses into quibbles over words. For example, one of his "lies" is that whites took over Indian lands in order to farm them, which statement offends him on the grounds that the Indians were already farming them. But obviously the textbook in question means "... so that they (the whites) could farm them for their own purposes." Aging hippies will love this book, conservatives will despise it, and liberals (like me) will be alternately intrigued, irritated, and embarrassed by Loewen's holy crusade and narrow focus.
