A Patriot's History of the United States
A Patriot's History of the United States: From Columbus's Great Discovery to the War on Terror | Larry Schweikart, Michael Patrick Allen
1 post | 6 read | 2 to read
For the past three decades, many history professors have allowed their biases to distort the way America’s past is taught. These intellectuals have searched for instances of racism, sexism, and bigotry in our history while downplaying the greatness of America’s patriots and the achievements of “dead white men.” As a result, more emphasis is placed on Harriet Tubman than on George Washington; more about the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II than about D-Day or Iwo Jima; more on the dangers we faced from Joseph McCarthy than those we faced from Josef Stalin. A Patriot’s History of the United States corrects those doctrinaire biases. In this groundbreaking book, America’s discovery, founding, and development are reexamined with an appreciation for the elements of public virtue, personal liberty, and private property that make this nation uniquely successful. This book offers a long-overdue acknowledgment of America’s true and proud history.

A wonderfully woven narrative that reads more like a good novel than a thorough handling of American history. A refreshing look at a topic all too often distorted by leftists and fascists who care only about advancing their ideologies rather than relaying good history.
