Title: Everything you need to know about American history (Korean translated title, the same meaning)
Author: Kenneth .C. Davis
The author of representative history book of USA learning book series ‘Don’t know much about~’
In this book, he using balanced view in each happening, explain about whole huge American history to readers.
This is a kind of American history book. But it was not kind usual history books that make people feel very boring, even try to sleep in their history class. This book is based on nonfiction the true history of 200 years in this nation, this book describes this big and widely confused American history, using objectively balanced progressive point of view. Of course there is also uncommon cold smile, I mean, criticism in the backside shadow, against all they actually did thru the whole American history.
The start of this continent (today we called America), till the terror of world trade center at 2001. There are so, so many bright sides and dark sides in it. But you know, every history and historian usually did, they made a lot of cruel lies and silly excuses to hide those dark side things.
To cover these shame things, people in America start to think about themselves as image of ‘justice of the world’. And that have been change the world since United States of America reached at super power of this world just like right now where we live.
If some very specific and surprising events will happen, I bet my life, there is always some kind of caused problem before those happenings. Luckily, I can sure my these kind of opinion again thru this book, a true history from this book.
I’m not that narrow-mindedness person. But I thought, I felt sometimes American history make people believe that every happening in their past time was just caused by anti-peace terrorists, and anti-justification side.
This book told me we have to; try to look the whole side of history. We have to know, and commemorate all sides of history even though they are belonging to dark side of history. Shame part of the superpower nation in the world.
Everyone, if that is human being, know a nation called United states of America have a giant huge influence power to the world, ever in human’s history.
Now, that needs to get sense of responsibility and braveness to take a stand with true history, facts.
Making future, tomorrow based on history just like every nation does, this book remind me what I supposed to live in this world with this USA.
How has the book increased your interest in the subject matter?
I take American history class in my school, I mean in here. And I feel deeply interested in it, very much. This book gave me the total change of thinking and looking about American history, that makes my interest huge and huge.
How has reading this book changed your opinion of a certain person or topic?
I saw again, a whole American history. That was the great change of my whole view in my life ever.
