History is not an American strong suit, as many pollsters and TV talk show hosts have proven. When most high school graduates can't name the document that declared official separation from England, or know when the Civil War happened, there's obviously something lacking in our educational system. So remedy that knowledge gap--and learn some more things you probably won't read in a textbook--with this hysterical tour through 500 years of American history. From the American Indians to George W. Bush, this chronological book debunks long-held myths, points out cause-and-effect scenarios, and gives you a thorough overview of the events and people that have shaped America. 678 pages, indexed, softcover.
