Description: "When Don't Know Much About[actual symbol not reproducible] History first appeared thirteen years ago, it created a sensation. With humor, wit, great stories, and a trademark conversational style, the book brought Americans a fresh new take on history. Davis proved that American don't hate history - they just hate the dull textbook version they were force-fed in school.".

"In his irreverent and popular question-and-answer style, Davis now returns with a completely revised edition that brings history right up to the moment - covering such topics as the end of the Cold War, Clinton's impeachment, the bizarre election of 2000, and the events that led to September 11.".

"Incorporating new research and discoveries, Davis also updates and expands on such long-standing American controversies as the Jefferson-Hemings affair, the Alger Hiss trial, and the Rosenberg spy case. And he includes an expanded "civics lesson" that examines some of America's hottest social and political issues, such as the death penalty, gun control, and school prayer."--BOOK JACKET.
