A good book, though. If you didn't already know the low reliability of US 
history as it's taught in US schools, it would be worth reading. But then,
surely *all* the people on this list know the ppor quality of the history 
that's taught in *their own country's* schools. I would not for a moment 
suggest that the only people who understand that are (a subset of) 
Americans.
