    About this ebook

    "Every teacher, every student of history, every citizen should read this book. It is both a refreshing antidote to what has passed for history in our educational system and a one-volume education in itself."
    —Howard Zinn

    A new edition of the national bestseller and American Book Award winner, with a new preface by the author

    Since its first publication in 1995, Lies My Teacher Told Me has become one of the most important—and successful—history books of our time. Having sold nearly two million copies, the book also won an American Book Award and the Oliver Cromwell Cox Award for Distinguished Anti-Racist Scholarship and was heralded on the front page of the New York Times.

    For this new edition, Loewen has added a new preface that shows how inadequate history courses in high school help produce adult Americans who think Donald Trump can solve their problems, and calls out academic historians for abandoning the concept of truth in a misguided effort to be "objective."

    What started out as a survey of the twelve leading American history textbooks has ended up being what the San Francisco Chronicle calls "an extremely convincing plea for truth in education." In Lies My Teacher Told Me, James W. Loewen brings history alive in all its complexity and ambiguity. Beginning with pre-Columbian history and ranging over characters and events as diverse as Reconstruction, Helen Keller, the first Thanksgiving, the My Lai massacre, 9/11, and the Iraq War, Loewen offers an eye-opening critique of existing textbooks, and a wonderful retelling of American history as it should—and could—be taught to American students.

      Heard about this book in one of my college-level history classes, and decided almost on a whim to purchase it. It told me SO much, both about aspects of history that I had never heard of, AND the reasoning behind WHY history textbooks are the way they are. Also, this book helped me realize how GOOD my history teacher my junior and senior years of high school was. Many of the things that Loewen says many history teachers avoid (ie. the attack on My Lai during the Vietnam War) my teacher went out of her way to make sure we read about and questioned and THOUGHT about. I e-mailed her to recommend the book, only to find out she'd already read it--no WONDER she's so good! I would recommend this book to anyone, especially high school students.
    • 5/5
      This book is a must read for any American. I have lent my copy out to numerous people, all are shocked by its contents, but then they each when on to verify the "new stories" that they had been told, only to discover that these stories are history and their history class had been fiction. It is an eye opening experience.
    • 4/5
      I found this book an interesting exercise in critical thinking, debunking, and plain historical comparison. This book should be assigned to undergrad history students.
    • 5/5
      I'm glad to see so many reviews of this book where people gush and gush over how important it was to them. I won't repeat. Just scroll down and read what the people below me said. Everyone who went to school in America needs to check this one out!
    • 5/5
      Every student should read this in high school. It will change the way you look at the world.

      This just felt too repetitive for a History student to read. I knew most of these facts.

      An examination of the indoctrination of American children through the teaching of history. A primary resource for correcting some of the lies we Americans continue to tell ourselves about our past.I attended a lecture at the Boston Public Library by Walter Mosely--not on writing African American mysteries, but on whether race still matters in America. Yeah, it does. Mosely's been writing on race and history, but he can't get the stuff published. He views all the lies we live with as the root cause of many of our problems. He said that African Americans understood why 9/11 happened while white Americans were completely baffled. African Americans know what it's like to be on the wrong end of the American stick. He said that a lot of the problems we in America have now happen because we lie to ourselves about our history.This book is therefore important, an antidote to the awful poison regular, everyday people sort of Americans are forced to swallow.
    • 5/5
      Filled with interesting facts that I had never encountered either in public school or undergraduate studies, I was filled with not only awe for what I didn't know, but for contempt for the people who determine what is and isn't suitable for the general public to know. This volume was a real eye opener! Highly recommended!
    • 5/5
      For someone who didn't expect to remember much of grade school and high school social studies classes, it was eerie to recognize so much of my childhood education in Loewen's narrative. A book every student, every parent, and every person who thinks they don't like history should read.
    • 4/5
      An interesting book, although it's information seems a little limited, and I found the last two chapters too preachy for my tastes. I read this along with Howard Zinn's "A People's History of the United States" and found that the two complemented each other nicely.
    • 4/5
      Pretty transparent in some of its ideology, but still well worth reading.
    • 4/5
      This book was very interesting. It frustrated me that I did not know the "truth" about so much of history. It also is very frustrating that students are not learning the truth and the fact that so many students accept the written word as gospel. It is a horrible disservice that our textbooks aren't better researched and more accurate.
    • 5/5
      It scared me to learn about so many events in history that were 'taught' incorrectly. This book was written in an entertaining and informative manner that I found hard to put down. a must read for Americans.
    • 3/5
      much more in-depth that I first thought it would be. Loewen doesn't just say what "history" got wrong -- he details what really happened, too.
    • 5/5
      I hated history until a friend gave this to me. It changed not only my outlook on the topic, but developed my perspective on life, society, and my country.
    • 3/5
      Though the title sounds like a rant on education in general, this book deals specifically with what history textbooks get wrong, using a dozen textbooks as examples. It's no mere quibble. In the very first chapter I learned that Woodrow Wilson was a flaming racist and Helen Keller was a radical socialist, neither of which were even hinted at during my schooling.It's a little depressing in spots. I'm young enough that much of my history class dealt with how white people have done nothing but screw things up - whenever white people meet non-white people they bring disease, abuse, enslavement, and death. This book taught me that it's actually much worse than I knew. For example, the Pilgrims were grave robbers, the North during Reconstruction was almost as bad as the South, and white people managed to get Indians to fight most of their wars for them the first couple centuries they were here.It's not all bad. There is, for instance, a chapter on anti-racism immediately following the one on racism. (For all history textbooks ignore the effects of racism, they also ignore racial idealism.) After several chapters on correcting common myths and omissions, the author follows up with not only reasonable justification for learning history in the first place, but also ideas for improving curricula without suggesting there is a One Right Way to teach history. It's a fascinating read, and for all the negative reviews I've read, very easy to figure out which parts are facts and which parts are the author's opinions. I certainly do not agree with everything in this book, but it gave me quite a bit of food for thought. More importantly, it instilled in me a curiosity about American history - something my teachers were never able to do.
    • 5/5
      If you're looking for an unbiased, fast-paced narrative of history this is not the book. Though Lies My Teacher Told Me tries to sell itself as the above, such a description is inaccurate. It promises to be the history book for “anyone who has ever fallen asleep in history class.” Truth is, if you don't like dry, academic reading this book will be a chore

      Lies... is not fast-paced and it is not without bias, but it is a wonderfully fresh take on history. And Loewen's point that the history of American textbooks is boring for many people is true. Personally, I enjoyed history until about the age of twelve, then it became tiresome for me. I couldn't explain why, but reading Lies... made it clear—it's the same repetitive story of world needs help, white man arrives on scene, very minor conflict occurs, white man saves the future. Really, that is the basis of every historical story I knew in my school days. When I went to college, I refused to take any history course. I was fed up with history. At the time, I felt fortunate that there were enough alternative choices to satisfy that tract of my general ed. requirements. Now I wonder if I missed out, or if it would've been more of the same.

      Lies... is in no way all inclusive. Loewen picks a small selection of historical events that he seems most familiar with. Using a massive sampling of sources, both past and contemporary, Loewen rewrites these events in a manner much closer to truth. He steers away from many events that one may think would be full of discrepancy, but it is not difficult for a reader to surmise what likely happened.

      For anyone who has questioned the telling of history or done research of their own on the subject, many of Loewen bigger points will be redundant. It is the smaller details—the journals and articles from the people who actually lived through these events—that make this book so shocking. His liberal “white man is bad” tone will anger some. For others it will finally tell history from a unique perspective, one that is infinitely more colorful.

      I was very excited to read this book, as the premise sounded fascinating. I myself have over the years, as an avid reader of history books, come to notice that Americans seem to be very good at glossing over the darker aspects of their history.However, from the start, this book was a disappointment. Loewen begins his book by knocking down Helen Keller. The rest of it is written very dryly. I have read textbooks that were far more interesting than this book.A sense of arrogance graces this book from front to back cover. Loewen seems to delight in sharing what everyone else is getting wrong, appointing himself as a sort of textbook police. If he had given me the impression that this was justifiable (by showing the reader that he was passionate and knowledgeable about history, for example), it wouldn't have bothered me so much. However, I kept picturing him as a puffed-up history snob, and it didn't make the book any more enjoyable.I realize that pointing out such things as "only 2 of 12 textbooks mentioned this war..." is absolutely necessary for the subject here. But did the author have to keep including all of the little sentances about his students?He obviously prides himself on being a good teacher, and he very probably is, I am not arguing that.But I don't think that that was the point of this book. In fact, I don't think that that has anything to do with it at all.However, Loewen just can't resist slipping in praise about his students everywhere you turn, and with increasing frequency as the book progresses. He even quotes passages from his students essays, right alongside the quotes of presidents and world leaders.I was hoping for stories about little-known of, or lied about, parts of American history. But the book is rather laid out in a discussion type format. It covers the subjects of Native American Indians, the Civil War, and racism most prominently, but I cannot recall a single story on any of these topics, just a lot of talking. I couldn't resist skimming this one.In short, edifying about an interesting topic, but not a book I would ever recommend.
    • 5/5
      I loved this book. I didn't always agree with Mr. Loewen's assumptions, but, overall, it was a wonderful read. Very informative.
    • 5/5
      What a shame that text books don't tell the truth.
    • 5/5
      Highly enjoyable review of American history from a liberal perspective. Makes you really think about some of the stuff that gets repeated over and over, but just doesn't seem to make much sense... It probably doesn'y and this book tells why.
    • 4/5
      Audiobook. Not much new if you're already into this sort of thing, Still. Very good.

      I got this book when it came out in 1995 and stuck it on a shelf. I was in middle school at the time and my teacher recommended, but it was way more than I was up for. Thirteen years and a masters degree later, I finally read it and I was not disappointed. Loewen covers ten specific components of American History to describe how they differ from what a sample of twelve widely-used high school textbooks describe. No textbook comes out as a winner from this evaluation. My high school text, The American Pageant didn't fair well, but I kept hoping it would pull through in the end.In the end, Loewen seeks to discover the underlying reason why textbooks portray history inaccurately--what motivates authors, teachers, editors, publishers, parents, and society to act this way? An intriguing read that is well worth the effort and has given me some food for thought as I contemplate parenthood in the not-to-distant future.
    • 5/5
      This is another one of those books that I had on my shelf and decided to rearead. I had recalled this book, subtitled "Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong", as one that pointed out the general failings of U.S. History textbooks. Mr. Loewen, a teacher and author, looked at twelve different high school-level history textbooks and compared it to current historical research. (Like other social sciences, the "facts" of history are subject to debate and interpretation, so there's no undisputed standard with which to compare.) What he found was that the textbooks mostly boiled down the story af America to a bland, biased and often inaccurate account of events. He discussed certain themes, from Eurpoean colonization to the government's actions of the recent past, and showed what things the textbooks tended to leave out. He also showed what effect that such spin might have on the students who have to study such stuff. He also looks at why our textbooks end up the way they are, touching on the textbook development process and the social forces that color our official taching of hostory. I had recalled the book as being rather unbiased, neither giving undue praise or condemnation to the historical characters discussed. I had to change my opinion upon rereading the volume. I've read a bit more history in the years since I first read Lies, inspired to do so greatly by this book, and I now have to say that Mr. Loewen is rather liberal. But I still think he's honest and willing to treat the "heroes" of our history as neither angels or devils, but real, flawed human beings. It's an approach I'd like to imitate as I share our history with my own "students"--my daughters. It's one that I hope would encourage them to not simply be an audience to a boring tale, but rather to see themselves as contributing authors to the ongoing story of our people.--J.

      This is an amazing read. Some of the corrections of myths of American History I had read beforebut there was much more here to ponder. I as a non American, especially appreciated the chapter on US foreign policy. Some of Haiti's current earthquake crisis goes back the US treatment fo them in another time.
    • 5/5
      Loewen tells us the real American History story. I knew most of the big things already, but was quite surprised at more than a few details. My favorite moment is when he foreshadows the current administration. Commenting on the state of our government after the Watergate scandal, Loewen predicts, "Since the structural problem in the government has not gone away, it is likely that students will again, in their adult lives, face an out-of-control federal executive pursuing criminal foreign and domestic policies" (p. 229). I was a junior in high school in 1995 (the copyright date of this book) and took US History that year. Now I'm an adult and who is my president? Loewen hit the nail on the head. Loewen was quite hard on high school history teachers and missed a vital point in his critique of why they teach the way they do: testing. You can't skip around and spend a lot of time covering a few incidents in-depth because all of your children would fail the EOC test and that would put your job in jeopardy.
    • 5/5
      I appreciate having someone who is willing to share the whole story, even if it isn't always popular. I may not agree with all of Mr. Loewen's reasons for why our textbooks so often get it wrong, but I agree with him completely that they are doing our children (and ourselves) a huge disservice by doing so.
    • 3/5
      My rating says more about me than it does about the book. One of the key points I've come away from the book with is that I'm not part of the target audience. This book is written for Americans. Those who have gone through or are going through the US education system. Coming from a different country I wasn't raised on US history. Everything I've learned I've had to research myself thereby getting round the majority of problems this book talks about.

      I can't say the Australian history I learned in school is free from all the same sort of problems but I do believe it was much better.

      This book was interesting but I could only recommend it to those who have experienced the US education system or are interested in it. If you're just interested in actual US history there are books out there which would serve better.

      A decent look at some of the stories behind the stories - the things that don't make it into high school history textbooks. Although bound to be controversial among those who want to keep history clean and tidy, it isn't necessary to accept everything the author says in order to find the stories fascinating and thought provoking. This book just might lead you to do a little further digging on your own, and that can never be a bad thing.

      I found this to be a fascinating and eye opening book. I'm not sure I agree with or believe everything that was stating in here, but it did make me think and encouraged me to look deeper and more carefully at long held ideas and beliefs. So if for nothing else I give this book a good rating for making me think.
