I have to agree with the guy from Georgetown U that the book is too focused on class conflicts. (A halmark of communism I might add.) and does not provide an objective view of the actual actions taken my the actors.

I have read that book before and it does make you stop and think but you also have to consider the source.

The source is reliable, more so than most books used from K-12 schooling. This is why this is read by most college students and is approved by nearly all institutions of higher learning, it's not just full of made up facts.

I didn't say it wasn't factual. Just slanted. It focuses too much on class distinctions.

That's the point of the literature.

Don't even get me started about the book being slanted.. just compare it to the ones used in all public schools and then consider the "slantedness".
