I'm a history buff so I really enjoyed this book. From the cover...from Columbus's voyage to the Clinton administration, author Kenneth C. Davis carries the reader on a rollicking ride through 600 years of Americana. With wit, candor and fascinating facts, he explodes long-held myths and misconceptions-revealing the very human side of history that the textbooks neglect.

Some adjectives from the reviews quoted on the back cover: quirky, fun, sardonic, accurate, significant. From Columbus to Iran-Contra, this book is organized by questions, such as Where did the Underground Railway run? and What was the scandal over teapot dome?

Quick reading fun facts that you did not learn in school. Too many facts to remember but all fun to read. Not dull and boring!

Not terribly impressed. "Lies My Teacher Told Me" and Howard Zinn's "People's History" are MUCH better IMO.
NB: My copy w/this ISBN came from another member and has a diff cover. It is not brand new - but very readable.

Got to page 25, then quit reading it about 10 years ago. Maybe its a good book, but I don't know.
