Description
From the arrival of Columbus through the historic election of Barack Obama and beyond, Kenneth C. Davis carries readers on a rollicking ride through more than five hundred years of American history. In this 30th anniversary edition of the classic anti-textbook—which includes a new preface by Davis—he debunks, recounts, and serves up the real story behind the most persistent historical myths and fallacies of American history. What if the history you were taught in school left out all the best parts?
- - Founding Fathers: Discover the real, earthy nature of George Washington, the surprising details left out of the Declaration of Independence, and why Jefferson and Hamilton couldn’t stand each other.- The American Revolution: Uncover the truth behind Betsy Ross’s flag, find out why there’s a statue of Benedict Arnold’s boot, and learn how the colonies really won the war.- The Civil War: Explore the real reasons the Southern states seceded from the United States, the true costs of the conflict, and whether Honest Abe was as honest as his legend suggests.- Modern American History: From Prohibition and the Great Depression to the Cold War, Watergate, and the historic election of Barack Obama, get the complete, unvarnished story of the events that shaped our world.
