Lies my teacher told me : everything American history textbooks get wrong / James W. Loewen ; adapted by Rebecca Stefoff.
"Beginning with pre-Columbian history and then covering characters and events as diverse as Helen Keller, the first Thanksgiving, the My Lai massacre, 9/11, and the Iraq War, Loewen’s lively, provocative telling of American history is a “counter-textbook that retells the story of the American past" --adapted from book jacket.
