Review # 2 was written on 2012-07-25 00:00:00 Michael Bombara I like history. There was a good deal of facts in the book that were eye opening. I don't dispute those facts. In fact I looked up in Wikipedia and verified a great many of them. Which leads me to my disagreement with the author. There was definitely a political slant to the book. Ok I like to hear both sides of the story. In fact, that was one of his points, that history is a debate more that it is set of facts. Then he throws a lot, and I mean a lot of facts. Sort of defeating his own arguments. If it was a book about facts and another side of history (4 stars) If it was a book about why history textbooks are flawed (5 stars) A book that mixes the two in a long drawn out rhetoric (2 1/2 stars) Hint: go research Wikipedia, explore its sources, search the web, and form your own opinions.
