In this compelling and utterly fresh look at American history, Kyle Ward shows how U.S. textbooks over the past two hundred years have described the same historical events in completely different ways. Following his acclaimed History Lessons, Ward juxtaposes excerpts from U.S. textbooks that span the life of the nation. From accounts of Christopher Columbus to the presidency of Ronald Reagan, History in the Making reveals the striking disparities in what succeeding generations of Americans have been taught about their country, exposing the sometimes humorous, sometimes sinister biases behind each account.
