“Reading Davis is like returning to the classroom of the best teacher you ever had!” —People magazine
From the arrival of Columbus through the historic election of Barack Obama and beyond, Kenneth C. Davis carries readers on a rollicking ride through more than five hundred years of American history. In this 30th anniversary edition of the classic anti-textbook—which includes a new preface by Davis—he debunks, recounts, and serves up the real story behind the most persistent historical myths and fallacies of American history.
