Review title: Save your money, get Zinn's book instead....
Product review: While I agree with the premise of this book, the author spends a lot of time trying to convince us that the reason behind the phenomena he describes is merely incompetence on the part of historians and teachers. Any notion that there is a class of people who benefit from keeping the population "dumbed down" about the actions of the American government is dismissed as conspiracy theory. Faced with many smoking guns, he demands a smoking cannon.I also found it short on the straight facts, long on conjecture about history.Zinn's book, "the People's History", is the "classic", full of well-documented facts.
