Kenneth C. Davis

Kenneth C. Davis is the New York Times bestselling author of the Don't Know Much About® series of books and audios for adults and children. The first title in the series, Don't Know Much About® History became a New York Times bestseller in 1991 and remained on the paperback list for 35 consecutive weeks. It has since been revised several times and now has more than 1.6 million copies in print. He is, according to Publishers Weekly, "a go-to guy for historical insight and analysis."His forthcoming book, THE HIDDEN HISTORY OF AMERICA AT WAR (May 5, 2015) has been called "searing" analysis by Publishers Weekly. This new book is one in a series of dramatic narrative nonfiction works. America's Hidden History also became a New York Times bestseller on publication. And A Nation Rising also uses narratives to tell the "stories your textbooks left out." Kenneth C. Davis’ success aptly makes the case that Americans don’t hate history, just the dull version they slept through in class. But many of them want to know now because their kids are asking them questions they can’t answer. Davis’s approach is to refresh us on the subjects we should have learned in school. He does it by busting myths, setting the record straight and always remembering that fun is not a four-word letter word.A somewhat well-kept secret – Kenneth C. Davis never graduated from college, but he was awarded an honorary doctorate from Concordia College in Bronxville, where he was also asked to give a commencement address.
