First off - do not purchase this book for your child thinking "He likes football - here is something he will like".

Customer Review:
With over 1,000 reviews on Amazon it is quite unlikely you will read anything different in my review than all the other five star reviews. I must say that Jared Diamond has written an extraordinary book. The question he tackles with GGS is, "Why and how did wealth and power develop in some areas and... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

Every high school student should read this book as a part of American history. While there is certainly a great deal more to know about our nation's history than what is contained in Zinn's analysis, it represents a critical perspective that is not to be found elsewhere.

Human history is full of tantalizing riddles. Some of the most fascinating of these arise from the appearance of ancient ruins in unlikely places, such as Easter Island, or the dense jungles of the Yucatan Peninsula.

Customer Review:
Calling 'a liberal lie" the assertion that FDR allowed US forces to be attacked at Pearl Harbor is the exact opposite of the truth.
