Best Book of its Kind

I found Mr. Moser's book totally unique in a class of its own. This tongue in cheek look at American History pokes fun at the absurdity of today's "politically correct" socialites, but also exposes the awful truth about our own knowledge of American History. Many of us learned our history from high school text books written in the post World War 50's. The class was taught by a teacher whose first name was "Coach". By "rewriting" that history according to today's "political correctness" Ed gives us a humorous glimpse of what the history text books of the future may look like. Worth the $9.00!
