the renaissance, the reformation, the scientific revolution, the enlightenment, the french revolution, the industrial revolution, the first world war. if you jumble them up and presented the average western teenager with those things, a tiny percent would put them in the right order. a tiny percent because that is not the way we teach history and of course we don't know the order of these things happened then, you don't see the causal connections between them. that is really a big part of what this book is about, it's about exploring causation. is a narrative in the sense that i do tell the story pretty much starting in 1411, 600 years ago, coming down to yesterday or near as yesterday as i could get and it is arranged in chronological order but analytically try to make statements about causation, about the order in which things happen. >> host: well, and i'm not sure i agree with you by the way about the u.k. being worse than the united states. a third of our high school graduates place the civil war in the 20th century. now how can you know anything for instance about race if you th
