Thanks for the suggestions. I've never read Howard Zinn's book, though everybody I know says it's fantastic. Maybe it will be my summer reading next summer. Not particularly relevant to an Aussie, but certainly to an American is a book called "Lies my Teacher Told Me" which is a critique of the sanatized version of US history taught in the US public schools. Written by a historian and also a very good writer.
