* Robert Greene's ''The 48 Laws of Power'' is surely a great book on human pop psychology, but not a history book, and its historical examples need to be taken with a grain of salt. Its rendition of the story of El Dorado in Law 40 is particularly uninformed: contrary to what the book claims, the legend was already known in Europe before the UsefulNotes/SpanishConquestOfTheIncaEmpire, the expedition led by Gonzalo Pizarro and UsefulNotes/FranciscoDeOrellana wasn't searching for it but for a completely different legend, and needlessly to say, the Spanish Empire didn't entered decline because the Spaniards became obsessed with finding El Dorado. Its Law 42 also wrongly claims that UsefulNotes/HernanCortez instantly conquered the Aztecs by capturing their emperor, when in real life this failed miserably and forced him to conquer it the old way.

* ''Literature/DearAmerica'': ''My Heart Is On The Ground'' by Ann Rinaldi diverges from history. The book is about Nannie Little Rose, a Lakota Native American girl who is sent to Carlisle Indian Industrial School. Firstly, Nannie probably would not have been given a diary in the first place, which discounts the whole book. But, let's say she was. She would not refer to herself as "Sioux", instead, she would use her area or band. Rinaldi also gets many Lakota customs wrong, mainly by using American descriptions of them rather than finding out what actually happened. She even makes up the more "Indian" sounding [[YouNoTakeCandle words]] for Lakota words that already exist, such as "night-middle-made" and "friend-to-go-between-us". A detailed list of the historical inaccuracies can be found [[https://rethinkingschools.org/articles/fiction-posing-as-truth-a-critical-review-of-ann-rinaldi-s-my-heart-is-on-the-ground-the-diary-of-nannie-little-rose-a-sioux-girl/ here]].

The book is framed as being dictated from Sarah Nita--who lived through the Long Walk of the Navajo--to her granddaughter, who is writing the story down to make a record of it. However, a child hearing any story would sit and listen respectfully rather than make notes or dictation--and given the topic, would not be made to listen to the story alone with no one else around to support her--and many Elders didn't speak on the tragedy at all because of the severe trauma it gave them. Sarah wouldn't have called herself "Navajo" and instead used "Dinè". The American soldiers are overall made to appear kind and only doing their jobs (with only a few mentions of some "mean" ones who "abuse women" and some passing mentions of people being shot), and the reason for the move is cited as the Natives doing so much raiding that they had to be moved away. Finally, Sarah is renamed "The Girl Who Chased Away Sorrow" because she spends their ''death march'' trying to keep spirits up and cheerful with stories she makes up on the spot. Like ''My Heart Is On The Ground'', this book was left out in the rerelease.
