should have read this earlier. like a decade earlier.

This should be interesting. Just starting it…

An incredible exploration of oppressed history.

(I’m on page 497)

La historia del Estado sin duda de mayor poder en el mundo en un contexto (como dice el autor) desde el punto de vista del norteamericano oprimido, del pueblo. Por lo mismo, no es la misma historia que los adolescentes estudian en sus libros de texto.

I’ve heard too many good things about this book to ignore it any longer.

If you’re like me, you don’t remember much from history class. Whenever I hear a reference to a historical event in the US, I pick up this book and read the 3-4 pages about it.

I think if our schools taught history like this (cold, hard truth), we’d all remember a lot more of it!

I have to admin, my knowledge of US history post WWI is quite poor. I hope this fills in the gaps.

My first attempt at a book club failed. But I will finish this one day.

This book should be required reading for every American. The middle drags a bit, but overall, an EXCELLENT book.
