The Indians didn&#8217;t save the Pilgrims from starvation by teaching them to grow corn. Thomas Jefferson thought states&#8217; rights&#8212;an idea reviled today&#8212;were even more important than the Constitution&#8217;s checks and balances. The &#8220;Wild&#8221; West was more peaceful and a lot safer than most modern cities. And the biggest scandal of the Clinton years didn&#8217;t involve an intern in a blue dress. <br><br>Surprised? Don&#8217;t be. In America, where history is riddled with misrepresentations, misunderstandings, and flat-out lies about the people and events that have shaped the nation, there&#8217;s the history you know and then there&#8217;s the truth. <br><br>In <i>33 Questions About American History You&#8217;re Not Supposed to Ask</i>, Thomas E. Woods Jr., the New York Times bestselling author of <i>The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History</i>, sets the record straight with a provocative look at the hidden truths about our nation&#8217;s history&#8212;the ones that have been buried because they&#8217;re too politically incorrect to discuss. Woods draws on real scholarship&#8212;as opposed to the myths, platitudes, and slogans so many other &#8220;history&#8221; books are based on&#8212;to ask and answer tough questions about American history, including:<br><br>- Did the Founding Fathers support immigration?<br>- Was the Civil War all about slavery?<br>- Did the Framers really look to the American Indians as the model for the U.S. political system?<br>- Was the U.S. Constitution meant to be a &#8220;living, breathing&#8221; document&#8212;and does it grant the federal government wide latitude to operateas it pleases?<br>- Did Bill Clinton actually stop a genocide, as we&#8217;re told?<br><br>You&#8217;d never know it from the history that&#8217;s been handed down to us, but the answer to all those questions is no. <br><br>Woods&#8217;s eye-opening exploration reveals how much has been whitewashed from the historical record, overlooked, and skewed beyond recognition. More informative than your last U.S. history class, <i>33 Questions About American History You&#8217;re Not Supposed to Ask</i> will have you wondering just how much about your nation&#8217;s past you haven&#8217;t been told. 303910 10 7 2007 33 Questions About American History You're Not Supposed to Ask total:59|5:11|4:24|3:12|2:6|1:6| 59 205 121 22 4 1 false false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Thu Jan 03 08:50:53 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 03 08:56:47 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Mar 24 11:55:13 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 01 11:56:25 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Feb 10 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Mar 11 14:06:40 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 11 14:34:59 -0700 2009
