The Politically Incorrect Guide To American History

Written by a conservative as a corrective to the revisionist, liberal view of American history, this textbook-like overview from the Puritans through the Clinton administration explodes what the author sees as the many myths and distortions of the people's history approach. History professor Thomas Woods relates major events and episodes, and discusses key issues in depth, as a counter to the national narrative promulgated by runaway PC liberalism, which, in his view, has become dominant through endless repetition.
