Negative Positive
Title: selective truth
Review: I bought this book after I read Whatever Happened to Penny Candy, hoping to supplement our homeschool history program. I decided to read it first to my husband, a Lt Col in the USAF (with tactical experience in both Gulf Wars), to see what he thought of it first. Honestly, we couldn't finish it. While Richard Maybury brings out some good points about historical events - things you don't hear often- he also leaves out a deal. He says up front he has a bias, but my husband considered the book biased to the point of dishonest propaganda - something Maybury says the US Government has used almost since day one. He's entitled to his opinion, but his ideas about how the country should be run are simplistic to the point of absurdity, and, my husband says, completely unworkable in this day of airplanes, missiles, and dirty bombs.Maybury should stick to economics. I cannot recommend this book.
