I found this book to be very interesting. It was also very informative. The audio narration was well done, and the pacing was just right. One of this things I really liked about the book was how it stated what else was going on in the world at the same time. This really focused on the fact that while this might be history, it isn't ancient history, it isn't too far removed from our own lives.

With that being said, the indigenous people of America were deceived and wronged and while this book teaches a lot of what I should have been taught in school, I'm sure it barely scratches the surface on the indignities suffered.

Every American (And Canadian) should read this book.
