Great used book
By Shawn
The book was in excellent condition. It was in far better condition than the ones in the bookstore, which were selling for much more.

By Jean M. Winans
This book was purchased for my daughter who is a Freshman in College. This is the exact book that she would have bought on campus. She received it in 3-4 days, and it was a discount price. That really helps a single parent these days. Thank you

A Plethora of Liberal Guilt
By A Penn State Student
A plethora of questionable historic perspectives and rhetoric documented and portrayed as fact by authors who never take the time to site their sources anywhere in the book. This book is emblematic of all that consist of American liberal white guilt. The text lays the foundation for generations to come that will adopt and carry on the liberal agenda portrayed in this text that attribute all blame for the woes of our past upon European Americans today. It is sad that we students at the Pennsylvania State University have to learn this trash as a means of satisfying our a general educational requirements.
I'd advise anyone who reads this book to first research the authors and find out who your getting the information from. When you see who the authors are and look at what else they've published and did, the ultimate agenda of this text becomes common sense.
