Query: CAUTION - History Student, not a real history book.

I find most of the Idiot books pretty good. Not really for idiots - just easy, fun, quick reads that lay down a good foundation on the subject. The book is for idiots. Duncan writes well enough, but most of what she writes is of little value to a college history student - or anyone wanting to learn real history. Jimi Hendrix, Miles Davis, Chuck Berry all get more coverage than Fredrick Douglas. Ida Wells gets a paragraph while Shirley Chisolm gets almost two full pages. Oprah Winfry gets more coverage than the 54th Massachusetts. Much of the book is a long attack on the South, as if no discrimination existed in the North. Ducan has a political agenda as well and it is decidedly left wing. Duncan is not a historian - but a businessperson and it shows. Idiots Guide publishers - please get historians to write the history books.
