Customer Reviews

I've been mislead

This book is eye opening. I had no idea how incorrect the United States history was that I'd been taught. Just the subject about Thanksgivings origins makes my stomach turn. I'm quite glad I bought this book. It has an extensive bibliography at the end of the book I will use for future reading.

Learning true history. Real history.

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