Title: Review of "Don't Know Much About History"
Review: Kenneth C. Davis does a very good job of overviewing American history in this book. His style is informative and very entertaining. The chapter titles such as "Apocalypse Then" are comically brilliant.The book does suffer from a case of terminal liberalism though. While Mr. Davis is more honest than most liberals are about historical figures and events (he does actually criticize people like FDR and JFK for certain things), still Mr. Davis's bias does distort his interpretation of some historical events. One example is of Reagan's 1986 bombing of Libya which he chalks up as just a botched assassination attempt.But if you can ignore the bias, the book is still an entertaining read (just don't take it as 100% gospel truth).
