Book Review: " A selected history of the United States' faults from 1776-present"
Summary: 1 Stars
This book was assigned to me in an American History class in HIGH SCHOOL. Let me tell you a little something about the history that we learned from this fairy tale: The Civil war, Spanish-American war, WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and the present war on terror are all wrong and we are not going to examine any part of these stories except why they are wrong and how they have no redeamable qualities whatsoever. However, the anarchists, communists, and all other radical, left-wing movements are really not that bad and we should listen to what they have to say before condeming them. Wars are not the only thing attacked: Religion and anything value oriented are horrible weapons of the Right and anything that they do is to be attacked and critiqued to no end. However, the left-wing terrorist groups like the weather underground, and radical native americans are to be lifted on our shoulders as the heroes that they really are for bringing to our eyes just how wrong our country is for having values. Speaking of heroes, several people after reading this book have said that the draft-dodgers, and war protestors are more worthy heroes then the soldiers who went to war when their country asked and did their duty. This book made me sick and if it weren't for the fact that this book is fairy tale, I would go to a hospital right now.
