Book excerpt: Hijacking History analyzes the high school world history textbooks produced by the three most influential publishers of Christian educational materials and their collective effect on students' understanding of the past and its consequences for the present. In assuming that God sanctions fundamentalist positions on social, political, and economic issues, students are led to believe that that the ultimate mission of America is to advance evangelical Christianity and capitalism throughout the world, with monumental civic ramifications.
