Title: Perfect for a long drive
Review: This audiobook carried me on a redeye drive from Los Angeles to Phoenix. Don't Know Much always kept my attention despite much of the basic history not being new for me.For that I give it 4 stars.I agree re: the commentary re: liberal bias. It is pronounced.However, the author frequently presented both sides of the issue on a given subject, so there are of plenty of nods to fairness. I felt the treatment of the founding fathers to be respectful and balanced. As the subject material gets closer to the present day, the bias becomes more evident.(The mention of the legendary smallpox blanket gifts to the Indians was gratuitous, I thought, given how uncertain the facts are on the subject. Yes, there was at least one incident during the French and Indian War. But it was neither official policy nor widespread as is commonly believed.)But the audiobook is solid, chunky with information, and presented with a lively narrative.
Is the review positive or negative?
