Learning true history. Real history.

Great book. Very knowledgeable. Finally nice to read the real history.

Should be required reading for EVERYONE!

Noting the critique of some of this books 'reviewers,' that it is partisan, or more pathetically, "woke," confirms the very reason the author felt the need to write the book. Their "cognitive dissonance" leads them to the need to deny the truth presented in this book as leftist; a truth that is routinely and purposefully avoided by politicians and the corporate sponsored main stream media to keep US citizens dumbed down and distracted from assuming their roles as educated citizens, and maintains North America as a plutocracy seemingly heading steadily toward a dictatorship. That is, unless folks DO read books such as this and Zinn's "A People's History of the United States," and other such revisionary books, and take to the streets to put this country on the course to a real democracy.
