Making History Interesting

I want to focus on one particular aspect of this wonderful book; the description of the typical high school history textbooks. Looking back at the texts I realize that for an adult to even want to continue reading non-fiction after having to go through the bland, washed out, noncommital non narrative that is American high school history is a wonder in itself. He did a pretty good job of describing just how high school text books portray events and it's no wonder I never connected with the text; there was nothing to connect with.

Excellent listen and eye-opening information

This is an excellent book. I listened to most of it during a long drive. It kept my attention without overwheleming me so I could drive safely. The information presented is informative and will change your perspective on a number of issuse in American history.

Brilliant and reviving

My U.S. History teacher taught on this form of work... but to have it all down in writting to review and show to other people, or on hand for quotes... I love the quotations Loewen uses at the beginning of each chapter, and the reference given to each textbook he reviewed... and if you thought U.S. History was boring, it was because you were not told the truth. So get this book and learn the reality you were lied to about.
