A Short History of the US
Revisado: 02-28-09
I enjoyed the earlier years of this history book but found as I got to the years that I'm quite familiar with, this author leans heavily to the Left. He emphasizes the faults of Republicans and diminishes their accomplishments, then dismisses the shortcomings of Democrats while embellishing the dubious accomplishments of Democrats. Example: FDR did not end the Great Depression by nearly spending this country out of existance; WWII and the war economy brought us out of the depression. If Mr. Remini liked FDR,
he'll surely love our newest president, Barak Obama and his spending spree. As someone once said, "When you find yourself in a hole, don't keep digging".
Thank you,
Jim
