This view of the innocent natives is everywhere.

I'm reading "Flyboys" about WWII fliers which would be an excellent book were it not for a lot of moral equivalency...passages about how the Americans used "ethnic cleansing" on American Indians and took Hawaii at "bayonet-point"...that kind of stuff.

Outrageous historical revisionism is everywhere.

What would you call it?

Yeah, I had the same take on that book. It's almost as if the writer were straining to tag Americans with a crime that would balance off the tendency of the Japanese to behead & eat their prisoners.
