Summary:

Winner of the American Book Award and the Oliver C. Cox
Anti-Racism Award of The American Sociological Association

Americans have lost touch with their history, and in Lies My Teacher Told Me Professor James Loewen shows why. After surveying eighteen leading high school American history texts, he has concluded that not one does a decent job of making history interesting or memorable. Marred by an embarrassing combination of blind patriotism, mindless optimism, sheer misinformation, and outright lies, these books omit almost all the ambiguity, passion, conflict, and drama from our past.

In this revised edition, packed with updated material, Loewen explores how historical myths continue to be perpetuated in today's climate and adds an eye-opening chapter on the lies surrounding 9/11 and the Iraq War. From the truth about Columbus's historic voyages to an honest evaluation of our national leaders, Loewen revives our history, restoring the vitality and relevance it truly possesses.

Thought provoking, nonpartisan, and often shocking, Loewen unveils the real America in this iconoclastic classic beloved by high school teachers, history buffs, and enlightened citizens across the country.

NEVER RECEIVED THE BOOK!!!
Customer Rating:  Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1

This was bad experience. I NEVER received the book. There seemed to be no way to let Amazon know the book had never come. I'm a bit disgusted because I lost my money. I hope someone at Amazon sees this and does something about it. At this point, I can't rate this book.

More interesting than school history class!
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

Another great book from James Loewen, along with "Lies Across America". Excellent book which gives a different perspective on history, and a more interesting one, in my opinion. Most of us who are not history students retain only what we were taught earliest, which means all that dumbed-down, glossed-over, boring stuff from elementary or middle school. This is an entertaining read, whether you are a history major, or not.

nonsense
Customer Rating:  Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1

A must read if you believe the upper class elite are running the country while suppressing the lower classes and minorities (and the CIA conspired with Lee Harvey Oswald to murder President Kennedy). American history text books and class content are merely a framework to support 400 pages of socialist ranting. I have never read a more biased book.

Needed by parents everywhere
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

This was an excellent book and I recommend it to anybody and everybody. I was a history minor in college, a business major, having decided not to teach history somewhere around my second year, I relegated my knowledge of history to something useful on trivia night. That is until the kids came around. I first realized there might be a problem with my son's education when he told me that Adolf Hitler had been a Genius, and that he had simply suffered from bad luck, later I heard that the Civil War wasn't about slavery, and even that Puritan settlers taught the Indians to farm and saved them from starvation...I had trouble believing that a teacher ever told my son such lies, and that he must be mistaken somehow; either way I began taking the education of my children much more seriously than our public schools do. In his book James Loewen takes on some of these myths, explains why they have persisted, and gives reasonable solutions for teachers and parents. He manages to present some new information (at least for me), and writes an extremely important critique of the textbook writing process and the approval process still used today. This book should be read by every parent and given as a gift to every teacher of History and Social Studies you can find. Teaching happy history doesn't make it so-lets teach our kids the truth so that they can engage the world with a clean slate.

Too much like a school book.
Customer Rating:  Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1

I bought this thinking it would have short stories. It reads like a text book. Not fun, not a good read.
