DDC Comment:
Woods' book is one of the antidotes to the Howard Zinn manipulation crowd
and the history re-contructionist education establishment.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
Thomas Woods refutes the popular myths in The Politically Incorrect Guide to
American History. Professor Woods reveals facts that you won't be - or never
were - taught in school, tells you about the "Books You're Not Supposed to
Read," and takes you on a fast-paced politically incorrect tour of American
history that will give you all the information you need to battle and
confound left-wing professors, neighbors, and friends.
Reader Reviews:
It's called the truth
This is the book I have been looking for. I absolutely love this book. It
uses actual speeches and writtings of our founding fathers. It is what they
thought, felt, and believed. There is no revision here just the truth.
Revision is what you get in the classroom. I would highly recommend it to
those who want to know what happened. The only down side I could is the book
does not go deep enough fo me.
Speaking of revisionist history...
This is revisionist at its best, or worst, depending on how you look at it.
AWESOME READ!
It's about time someone wrote something to counteract all this revisionist
history taking place all over America.
