lies my teacher told me (1995)

Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong (James Loewen)

this was one of our better non-fiction book club books. similar in style to "guns, germs, and steel," this is really a must read for anyone who went through a history course in the united states. makes you think, makes you question, and ultimately, it's incredibly interesting all the way through. hey, howard zinn liked it.
