false 4597108 1 <B>A historian debunks four-dozen PC myths about our nation’s past</B>.<BR><BR> Over the last forty years, history textbooks have become more and more politically correct and distorted about our country’s past, argues professor Larry Schweikart. The result, he says, is that students graduate from high school and even college with twisted beliefs about economics, foreign policy, war, religion, race relations, and many other subjects.<BR><BR> As he did in his popular <I>A Patriot’s History of the United States</I>, Professor Schweikart corrects liberal bias by rediscovering facts that were once widely known. He challenges distorted books by name and debunks forty-eight common myths. A sample:<BR><BR> • The founders wanted to create a “wall of separation” between church and state<BR> • Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation only because he needed black soldiers<BR> • Truman ordered the bombing of Hiroshima to intimidate the Soviets with “atomic diplomacy”<BR> • Mikhail Gorbachev, not Ronald Reagan, was responsible for ending the Cold War<BR> America’s past, though not perfect, is far more admirable than you were probably taught. 4646771 4 9 2008 48 Liberal Lies About American History: (That You Probably Learned in School) total:18|5:2|4:9|3:2|2:3|1:2| 18 60 67 7 1 0 false false Sun Jan 11 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 10 21:59:13 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 10 21:59:24 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Dec 21 09:02:37 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 01 20:21:43 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Feb 11 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 11 12:14:06 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 11 12:15:38 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Thu Jul 23 07:05:42 -0700 2009 Tue Dec 23 10:03:39 -0800 2008 Thu Jul 23 07:05:42 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Mar 31 09:02:07 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 18 15:02:04 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 31 09:02:07 -0700 2009 1 more...]]> 1 0 false false Mon Feb 16 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 18 13:18:46 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 18 13:18:46 -0800 2009 2 0 false false Fri Sep 26 14:19:12 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 01 10:19:45 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Oct 20 06:57:44 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 20 06:57:51 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 19 19:23:25 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 19 19:23:38 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Aug 21 07:40:22 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 21 07:40:22 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Jul 23 18:49:13 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 23 18:49:13 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Jul 22 08:41:28 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 22 08:41:28 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jul 12 20:30:18 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 12 20:30:24 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jul 09 07:15:38 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 09 07:15:39 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jul 01 20:22:26 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 01 20:22:26 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jun 24 16:41:06 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 24 16:41:06 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Tue Jun 16 08:46:28 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 16 14:54:10 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Jun 18 13:09:58 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 14 13:21:41 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 18 13:09:58 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue May 12 12:27:11 -0700 2009 Tue May 12 12:27:11 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed May 06 11:09:19 -0700 2009 Wed May 06 11:09:30 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=4597108
