The Historian's Contribution to Anglo-American Misunderstanding

- Report of a Committee on National Bias in Anglo-American History Text Books

Om The Historian's Contribution to Anglo-American Misunderstanding

This book examines text books used in English and American schools and determines the way in which national bias has been instilled into school children by the use of history books. This study reveals that the deliberate distortion common a generation ago has disappeared, but has been displaced by a more subtle form of bias that is more dangerous because it is less easily recognised. It deals in particular with the treatment of the American War of Indepdendence, the War of 1812 and World War I. The report contains positive suggestions to authors and publishers designed to eliminate all bias and to help them achieve historical objectivity.
