High school history is a web of lies. Bestselling author James Loewen pulls back the curtain, revealing the whitewashed, inaccurate accounts that fill our textbooks. From the true fate of Native Americans to the dark realities of Reconstruction, Loewen exposes the biases and blind spots that permeate how America's past is taught. This eye-opening exploration challenges everything you thought you knew about the land of the free.
