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.

"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.

I'm actually just shocked you seem to want to read it.

So why the sudden interest in 'Murican history?
