American History Revised

by Edward P. Moser

This amusing book examines the famous events and figures of American history through the cracked yet increasingly popular lens of "political correctness." From the voyage of Columbus to the taming of the Wild West, accounts of the American past are shrewdly recast according to trendy notions regarding gender issues, the environment, and other current concerns.
