Description |
| 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 outcome, extra emphasis is located on Harriet Tubman than on George Washington; extra concerning the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II than concerning D-Day or Iwo Jima; extra 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 together with an appreciation for the elements of public virtue, personal freedom, and private property this do this nation uniquely successful. This book proposes a long-overdue acknowledgment of America’s true and proud history. |

 Fantastic book 2010-08-28 |
| By Stephanie E. Davis (United States) |
| I purchased this book to supplement my children's education. It is easy to read and inpires critical thinking and offers insight not often covered in textbooks. |
 started "ok" but then downhill 2010-08-28 |
| By Christopher A. Mills (Shreveport , LA USA) |
| 1st of all I agree with the author's basic premis that many of today's works of history have a horrible anti-American bias from left wing nuts who live off the government dole on tenur at our universities. This book started out ok but went down hill as one gets closer to the present. By the time one gets to Reagan and Clinton forget about any objective reasoning. The final 150 pages of this book can be summed up as Republican/ Conservative=good; Democrat/ Liberal= bad. If the author were to spend the last 50 pages merely repeating that phrase over and over again, he would fufill his purpose. I do not care to waste my time with a "history" written by either Micheal Moore or Rush Limbaugh. |

Very impressive and scholarly compilation of facts and events of US history. Great and easy reading.
I will give it as Christmas presents to all our children. Every family needs this accurate history.

 Complete over reaction to "liberal" textbooks 2010-08-20 |
| By Jolene |
| While reading this book I alternated between wanting to laugh and wanting to cry. If you can read this book and think that it is somehow balanced then our education system has failed you. Sure there are some "liberal" biased textbooks out there, but this book takes biased to a whole new level. It is especially irritating because the authors try to convince you they are balanced in their presentation of history. It is fine to read this book, but please read it for what it is, an opinion piece full of selected facts to present the authors view of history. This book selects events to cover and facts to relate that only back up the authors ultra conservative view of the world. As one example, look at the use of when public opinion polls are cited in the book. Polls are constantly cited that would make the reader believe that the entire country is and always has been full of only conservatives. I don't doubt that the polls cited exist, I only question why only certain points of view are presented. The bottom line is if you worship Reagan, and want a book to make you feel good about your opinions this book is for you. If you are interested in an unbiased presentation of history, you will have to look elsewhere. |
