The Politically Incorrect Guide(tm) to American History (Politically Incorrect Guides)

Almost everything you know about American history is wrong, because most textbooks and popular history books are written by left-wing academic historians who treat their biases as fact. But fear not, Professor Thomas Woods has written the perfect antidote. This delightful book--funny and inviting, but factually sound--shatters the myths about American history and separates fact from fiction. more

Less than honest

While I appreciated the readability of the book, in the end I found it frequently annoying due to the author's: * Constant use of half-truths and unsubstantiated claims. * Frequent "anything government does is bad" commentary.* Highly selective account of history to support the author's...

A phenomenal waste of money

This book looks at American History from the very conservative, almost lunatic fringe, viewpoint. Ron Paul endorses this book on the front AND back covers.This book is very sloppily written, with widely spaced margins and very wide sentence spacing. There are NO notes to indicate the source of...

Fills in a lot of gaps...

I have always enjoyed digging under the surface of controversial issues... especially ones that were glossed over in the "history" books I used in school.This book fills in a lot of important gaps and makes for very interesting reading. I really appreciate all of the "Books You're Not Supposed...

Great Survey for a fuller view of American History

In a time where people only know racism, homophobia, xenophobia and more left wing free speech restricting reasons this book is a much needed alternative to what the teachers unions are pushing on our youth in our schools. This is great for everybody from high school and up that wishes to engage...

PIGs

The Politically Incorrect Guides tend to have two things in common. The authors genuflect before 'leaders' like Gingrich The Newt, Rowdy Rush Limbaugh, Sarah the Born Again Bimbo, and Graveyard Dick Cheney and the authors trace all the world's problems back to 'the sad and rueful day when the...

This is one confused southerner

Magical free-market thinking from a fundamentalist Christian, uber-conservative, free-market windmill-chaser, whose heroes are Joe McCarthy and the Catholic Church, who thinks that any governmental economic regulation is evil, and who wants the south to rise again.

Gross distortion of American history

Saying you are politically incorrect isn't an argument. There is a line of far rightwing books parroting this line that they are politically incorrect and courgerously taking on "liberal elites." Does anyone still buy this line? Taking a far rightwing position is just that, far rightwing and...

For Home School Student to borrow from Library

Interesting concepts are presented but lack any scholarly documentation. I had considered having one of our students read the book but after reading it myself am returning it to the library as there is no evidence presented that what the book presents as facts are backed up by actual citations.It...

Ah, authentic American History

An American state possessed the legal right to secede from the Union.Labor Unions did not stop children labor nor stop 80 hour work weeks.Many American intellectuals were apologists for Soviet communism. FDR's New Deal made the depression worst. These are only but a few specifics they do not...

Brief, but to the point

I appreciated Prof. Woods touching on the main points directly although briefly. This is understandable as the subjects are varied and cover a somewhat long period of time.The sources cited at the end of the book are numerous and not individually identified as being endorsed. This is an excellent...
