So this $200 3-month rental etextbook that is more than 90% just copy-pasted articles from Free Europe Radio and CNN somehow correctly conveyed that Hitler gained much of his popularity from stoking xenophobia and racializing economic problems.

Without a shred of self-awareness, it then goes on to suggest in the closing section that the decline of the EU is being strongly driven by the mass entry of refugees, going on to describe it as a *flood * of migrants onto European soil'.

I guess when Stalin is written to come off as the larger villain than Hitler, I should've suspected something was up. This is my friend's first history course (at a real college) - are all History departments full of this shit?
