Product 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 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.

 Best Bet for understanding American History March 8, 2010

My first thought, is this a review link or a political blog? It amazes me how the liberals hate to have their opinions confused with facts. All, those socialist and marxist that rated this book a one star, did so because they hated the way the book presented facts with references and foot notes that do not support their anti American campaign. Here is a question for all you liberal socialist: What county is better than the U.S. that is socialist or Marxist. Think of the answer to yourself - got it- good, now go move there and get the hell out of America if you hate it so much. Good by and good riddance. Now as for the book itself. If you are interested in learning what they probably never taught you in school then I suggest this book, so you have a clear understanding of how we got here and what we need to do as Americans to keep this country great. The book states facts with plenty of footnotes and references, does not present opinions like the liberal communist love to use as talking points. If you are truly interested in the history of this country read this book. If you want to hear the same song over and over and over, watch Katie Couric or MSNBC and get your talking points so you can gel your uniformed opinions that you can regurgitate over your double soy milk latte with your comrades.

I haven't been able to put this book down. That's saying something for a history book. My high school children are reading this book as well to suppliment the revisionist history books that are becoming so prevalent in our schools. The history of this country is vital to understand if we are to survive and protect our freedoms. A Patriot's History details and explains the facts of freedom that we must know and understand.

I have not read too much of the book yet, but what I have has been very insightfu. This book will stay in our family library and hopefully used by my daughter that is now a sophomore in high school. I highly recommend this book for study of our United States history.

This rubbish was genuinely hard to stomach. I was prepared to read some interesting information, but was just beaten down by this TURD-HILL of historical revisionism.
