<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong><em>A New York Times </em>bestseller - More than 1.7 Million Copies Sold!</strong></p><p><strong>"Reading Davis is like returning to the classroom of the best teacher you ever had!" --<em>People magazine</em></strong><br/></p><p>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 myths and fallacies of American history. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A book that not only fills in gaps in historical knowledge, but is genuinely entertaining. . . . Wonderful!"--<strong><em>Orlando Sentinel</em></strong><br><br>"Davis writes with humor, he can turn a fine phrase. . . . If history were usuallytaught this way, we wouldn't have to worry about the dosing of the American mind."--<strong><em>Booklist</em></strong><br><br>"If you've always wondered exactly what Boss Tweed bossed and what Tammany Hall was, Davis is your man."--<strong><em>Washington Post Book World</em></strong><br><br>"Quirky, sardonic, accurate, rudimentary and often amusing . . . a breezy question-and-answer approach that is far removed from the massive textbooks all of us once lugged around."--<strong><em>Atlanta Journal and Constitution</em></strong><br><br>"Refreshing and vastly informative . . . fun, engrossing and significant. . . . History in Davis's hands is loud, coarse, painful, funny, irreverent--and memorable."--<strong>Patrida Holt, <em>San Francisco Chronicle</em></strong><br><br>"Unquestionably a handy reference book. It's just the thing when your pesky school-age kids try to show you up at homework time."--<strong><em>Dallas News</em></strong><br>
