Story4.5 out of 5 stars 471
Most Americans consider Abraham Lincoln to be the greatest president in history. His legend as the Great Emancipator has grown to mythic proportions as hundreds of books, a national holiday, and a monument in Washington, D.C., extol his heroism and martyrdom. But what if most everything you knew about Lincoln were false? What if, instead of an American hero who sought to free the slaves, Lincoln were in fact a calculating politician who waged the bloodiest war in American history in order to build an empire that rivaled Great Britain's?

Lots of hidden gold nuggets of history that is concealed from our kids in the schools. Who would have ever thought that Lincoln was a modern day white supremacists.

was looking for more 1st hand accounts of pillage
Reviewed: 05-09-18
The book is very thorough about all the movements of the troops but his very limited in its first hand accounts of all the rape and pillage by Lincoln's Army. very limited on the details of all the destruction of the personal property and how individuals were affected by that I would not recommend this book

Island of Vice
- Theodore Roosevelt's Doomed Quest to Clean up Sin-Loving New York

Story4 out of 5 stars 161
Zacks’s meticulous research and wonderful sense of narrative verve bring this disparate cast of both pious and bawdy New Yorkers to life. With cameos by Stephen Crane, J. P. Morgan, and Joseph Pulitzer, plus a horde of very angry cops, Island of Vice is an unforgettable portrait of turn-of-the-century New York in all its seedy glory, and a brilliant portrayal of the energetic, confident, and zealous Roosevelt, one of America’s most colorful public figures.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 443
In this explosive account of wrongful acts and ongoing cover-ups, Jesse Ventura takes a systematic look at the wide gap between what the American government knows and what it reveals to the American people. For too long, we the people have sat by and let politicians and bureaucrats from both parties obfuscate and lie. And according to this former Navy SEAL, former pro wrestler, and former Minnesota governor, the media is complicit in these acts of deception.

What disappointed you about The Dark Side of the Game?
Too generic not in depth. Who really cares about all of the problems in the NFL. Most of the players are a bunch of children in mens bodies. Overpaid whiners.
Has The Dark Side of the Game turned you off from other books in this genre?
No
Would you be willing to try another one of Tim Green’s performances?
No
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
