I dont want books which tell the history in conservative, liberal, patriotic, christian or glorifying way.
But I dont need book with bizzare viewpoints either (eg. USAs history from a latino eyes, USAs history from worker's perspective etc...)
I want book with great critics too.
No matter how big the book is, just show me one.
Oh, I dont want book with 500 pages of Native American history either.
thanks.

| You might just have to pick up a textbook. My textbook has a liberal bias though. |

America's History by James Henrietta, David Brody, and Lynn Dumenil
Maybe just read it until modern times. I read a few chapters from the 70's and 80's and I can pick out the bias. |

Yep. 950 pages and the pages are about as big as printer paper. That's a textbook for you. Don't feel so bad. I have to outline the entire book.
But don't get me wrong. Chapters 1-27 are excellent and present a balanced approach to history. 28-32, not so much.

My textbook gets explicitly mentioned as a Reagan basher in a Patriot's History of the United States.

"Can't judge a book by its cover"
means nothing to you eh?
My teacher last year when mentioning Reagan, only talked about Iran-contra and made him out to be a loony. |

Just as long as you promise to avoid A People's History of the United States, too.
My history book said the Reagan tax cuts punished the poor. Yeah, no. |

That sounds uber left. It sounds less annoying, but still. More biased than Faux Noose. |

I'm actually just shocked you seem to want to read it.
So why the sudden interest in 'Murican history? |
