Palm Beach Post: History textbooks: Painfully true or P.C.?, 12-07-03

This is a great article in which Dr. Porter Crow, a World War II veteran with a PhD in education, reviews how current textbooks treat the war. ... "Crow flips another page, reads another paragraph. He closes the book, slides it across the table. 'I was there,' he says. 'It just wasn't like this.'"
