This book, though it has a title that might offend some people, is a very important addition to any American's bookshelf. We need to know the ways our curriculum has omitted and reconstructed our history for the comfort of some, and specific ways that heroification, whether that's of founding fathers, presidents, or icons like Helen Keller (who was so much more than we were taught), are harmful. I can't recommend this higher.
