At last! The long-awaited graphic version of the multi-million copy bestselling corrective to American history myths-adapted by the famed National Book Award-winning artist behind John Lewis's March trilogy
Since its first publication in the 1990s, Lies My Teacher Told Me has become one of the most important and successful-and beloved-history books of our time. As the late Howard Zinn said, "Every teacher, every student of history, every citizen should read this book." Having sold well over 2 million copies, the book also won an American Book Award and numerous other commendations and prizes and was even heralded on the front page of the New York Times long after its first publication.
Now, the brilliant and award-winning artist Nate Powell-the first cartoonist ever to win a National Book Award-has adapted Loewen's classic work into a graphic edition that perfectly captures both Loewen's text and the irreverent spirit of his work. Eye-popping illustrations bring to life the true history chronicled in Lies My Teacher Told Me, and ample text boxes and callouts ensure nothing is lost in translation. The book is perfect for those making their first foray past the shroud of history textbooks, and it will also be beloved by those who had their worldviews changed by the original.
