Best history textbooks covering the 90s?

To avoid starting a massive debate: history books have been full of nonsense, both before and after the 90s. It's honestly absurd. Once politics starts meddling in history, things get messy.

Politics has always played fast and loose with history just to suit its own agenda... hasn't that been the case since forever? 😉

There used to be way more textbooks available.

I remember one specific book—can't recall the author offhand—that had a section basically claiming... that even the concentration camps were just instances of overreach and that any crimes committed were sporadic rather than mass-scale operations...

After 1945, there was maybe half a page dedicated to it... I might dig through some old boxes in the garage to see if I can find it.

8th grade middle school. The year was '90/'91. We were supposed to cover the crimes of local collaborators in America—but since they told us earlier there wouldn't be enough time to get through all the history in the other states—it was just skipped. The teacher basically said we’d breeze past this chapter because "we're running out of time," though he mentioned if anyone wanted to write a research paper, they could do so and have it read after grades were finalized. Well, nothing was ever read. Not once. Despite several papers actually being turned in. Instead, they just sat us down to watch Ben Hur—even though the topic wasn't even ancient Rome, which lasts forever anyway—just to kill time.
My neighbor was telling me about what happened in her class.

Maybe she actually watched it.

Man, if the lady next door says it happened, then it’s a done deal. I mean, what else is there even to argue about?🙄

Here are some shots of what looks like a page straight out of an 8th-grade textbook.

I suppose I have more faith in her—than I do in your constant skepticism.
