I am part of that nomadic generation that will surely feel that this crisis has broken its wings, stolen its heaven! I must tell you that I am a lover of history. Although the book talks about the history of the United States, it would be interesting to know more about the perspective that these authors assume and that you have been able to synthesize. In my literature classes, for example, sometimes I have to talk about the history of Venezuela and one of the things I "stress" to them is that as long as young people don't know their history, anyone can invent one for them and if they don't know about their past, they are destined to repeat it. For example, the crisis we lived through in the 90s of total disbelief and much individuality, made us look for the figure of the hero, who was a military man. At the beginning of the last century, Venezuela had military dictatorships that did a lot of damage to our country, but apparently nobody remembered that when they elected Chavez. At this moment, the history books used in schools are full of facts that are lies, made up, only to be eternalized in power. They are brainwashing our young people. They are erasing history and they are building one, at their convenience. Excuse me for going on about my commentary. You stepped on a key that is extremely important to me. Thank you for the opportunity to get to know this book. Hug and nice Monday, Eric!!! <3 ;)
