Don't Know Much About® History
Celebrating the 20th anniversary of its debut as a New York Times bestseller, here is the revised, updated and expanded edition of the classic "anti-textbook" that changed the way we look at history.
With Don't Know Much About® History, Kenneth C. Davis proved Americans don't hate history—just the dull version that was dished out in school. With wit and irreverence, in question-and-answer format, Don't Know Much About® History took readers on a rollicking ride through more than five hundred years of the American past. Now Davis has brought his groundbreaking work up to the present, taking us from the end of the Clinton administration through the recent Great Recession. This additional material covers the events of 9/11, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Hurricane Katrina, the global financial meltdown, the election of Barack Obama and the national controversy of same-sex marriage.
For history buffs and history-phobes alike, for longtime fans who need a refresher course, and for a new generation of Americans who are still in the dark about America's past, Davis shows once more why People magazine said, “Reading him is like returning to the classroom of the best teacher you ever had.”

The author of this book is biased to the left of center politically and it show in his writings... Did not make it through the second chapter before I was sick of the political clap-trap...
