Lies My Teacher Told Me

Yesterday I read a book called Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong. By the fact that I finished it in a single day, you can probably gather that I enjoyed it a lot. It has a lot of interesting information, including about how Helen Keller was a radical activist with communist leanings and what Christopher Columbus actually did in the new world (leader of a band of murdering, pillaging, rapists). It goes over not just interesting pieces of history, but the main sources of bias in history books and problems with the structure of history books as well. I would really recommend reading this book.
