Description

Over the past decade, A PATRIOT'S HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES has become the definitive conservative history of America, correcting the biases of historians and other intellectuals who downplay the greatness of America's patriots. Professors Schweikart and Allen have now revised, updated and expanded their book, which covers America's long history with an appreciation for the values that made this nation uniquely successful. 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 ground-breaking book, America's discovery, founding and development are re-examined with an appreciation for the elements of public virtue, personal liberty and private property that make the nation uniquely successful. This book offers a long-overdue acknowledgment of America's true and proud history. The revised, 10th anniversary edition of the No 1 New York Times bestseller
