Title: What He Knows About History is Wrong
Review: It's not what Mr. Davis DOESN'T know about History that makes this such a dangerous book for it's intended audience, it what he DOES know that just aint so. For example, he "knows" that Karl Marx was really on to something in making class struggle the driving force behind historical change. But that's just not true.He "knows" that the next most important things you can say about any historical figure are how they measure up to 21st century orthodoxies on questions of race and gender. This tells us something about Davis, but not much about the historical situations that he claims to be talking about.A quick way to verify these overall assertions is to pick a subject that he deals with that you already know something about and flip to the end of the section where he gives his "must reads." Even when he waffles a bit in the text (or more often hides behind another historian), his bias almost always shows up here.
