Summary: History
Comment: Although I have no knowledge of this book yet. I have to say that History is a cultural study. There are facts and chronological events, but learning and teaching history should relate to the "Why?"
"Hunters will cease to be heroes when lions write history."
Rating: 4
Summary: An interesting book
Comment: I found this book have a different point of view about history. It makes things is more interesting because there is something that doesn't just dreaming about us, Americans.
Rating: 1
Summary: Maligning fantasy
Comment: Although I appreciate the easy reading narrative format, I am incensed about the blatant defamatory rhetoric of the authors against "white Americans" as exploiters of American pioneering. They portray "white Americans" as superhuman, immune from hardship and failure as they waltzed across the western frontier purposely exploiting everyone and everything in their path. In my opinion the authors exhibit a personal vindictiveness against "white Americans".
My understanding has always been that the West was hard won. "White Americans" ventured west searching for a chance to a better life just like any people do today.
The authors ramble on with out any footnotes to historical documents to support their claims. Without reference they contradict themselves from one paragraph to the next.
My greatest worry, this book is being used as a text book to teach students in a required American history course in California universities.
Which way America?
