"Readers accustomed to a single view of American history will find British and Canadian, and American Indian views of the War of 1812; Cuban and Russian views of the Cuban Missile Crisis; and Iranian views of the Iranian hostage crisis, among various other enlightening examples." "Many of the textbooks included in History Lessons are the only authorized source of information about American history in their respective countries. They are made accessible to American readers for the first time, and several - including excerpts from the only textbook known to have been smuggled out of North Korea - are highly controversial." "History Lessons offers a challenge to the biases we bring to our understanding of American history - and a sobering glimpse into how the rest of the world views the past we take for granted."--BOOK JACKET.
