Greetings,\n\nAre you referring to American junior high and sr. high school history books?\n\nThere is so much history to teach most textbooks focus on the major players of American history.  Even when the class is titled "World History" it is usually with a bias towards how World History has shaped America and America's allies.  In addition most textbooks are dumbed down so American students can understand them.\n\nIf you want a really good history textbook and classes you're going to have to wait until college.\n\n-matt
