Title: History for ...
Review: Matthews' book is for people who know absolutely NOTHING about American history. ... I consider this book a total waste of money!!He pulls books, movies, some extremely biased and simplified American "history", and certain American "heroes" from his own past and presents them as having been the KEY factors in forming what we consider to be the "American psyche".What amazed me is all that he left out -- the many historical events that truly shaped America. If Matthews has any in-depth knowledge of American history, he failed to reveal it here. Further, his simplification of the forming of the "American psyche" is laughable.Although 200+ pages in length, the book is an easy one-sitting read -- I read it all last night. Why? The pages are small in size and the print is large and widely spaced. It could have fit into a 50 page book of normal size and print.In short, don't waste your money.
