I’m a WWI buff and have listened to many accounts of the was. This was certainly among the best! Most highly recommend!

Weird! Not at all as expected. Mixture of historical fiction, Eskimo mythology (?) & quirky imagination. Could have been quite good!

A screed on the evils of "colonialism" - too bad

What disappointed you about An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States?

After two chapters of monotonis, politically correct screed on the evils of colonialism - i quit. Just couldn't take it. Never got to the story I hoped to hear. Monnotone, flat naration. Looked interesting, but you can't judge an (audible) book by its cover.

Would you ever listen to anything by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz again?

NO!

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Laural Merlington?

Ward Churchill

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Primarily disappointment. I was hoping for much more.

Any additional comments?

Dear Roxanne: The Romans did it to the Jews; the English did it to the Irish; the Turks did it to the Armenians; the Germans did it to the Jews (again!). We are not a nice species! Get some perspective and get over yourself!! In the end, as I understand, the Indians were not really all that nice to each other. Your moralizing screed was boring, repetative and myopic. I'm very aware of the injustice done to the American Indian. And, yes, its a tragedy and a national disgrace. But I hoped to hear some objective history, not a parochial rant.
