In History My Way, historian and professor Malcolm D. Magee sets aside the footnotes and the lecture-hall caution to tell his grandchildren, and anyone else who wants to listen in, the story of America the way he actually sees it: messy, contradictory, occasionally absurd, and worth understanding anyway. From colonial debates over equality to the culture wars of the late twentieth century, this is roughly 450 years of American history compressed into one opinionated, plainspoken account. No citations. No hedging. Decades of teaching, distilled into a book meant to be read in an evening and argued about for years. If you disagree with something in these pages, good - go look it up. Having the right questions has always mattered more than having all the answers.
Short chapters make it useful for high school classroom discussion or as a homeschool supplement, and it is just as useful for any casual reader who wants a general history or simply an understanding of their place in the story.
