Yet another biased look at history.Dissapointed.
It seems that every recount of history in textbooks are fraught with a biased look at the past.This book is no different.I was hoping that a book used by Texas A&M wouldn't follow the same pattern.The book lends heavily to left-leaning thought.I'm not looking for a book that leans the other way.I simply want a book that is fair.That looks at the past in an objective, fair way.
that's all I ask. ... Read more

It's a pretty brainless read, and I haven't been introduced to many newideas or pieces of history, unfortunately. ... Read more
