Does anyone with an open mind write books like this? - [26 Feb 2010]
I'd not recommend this book to any liberal I did not want to aggravate. I have read about a 10th of the book by a conservative history professor who seems totally unaware that people of all political persuasions lie, not just the liberals. Given that ...

I don't get it - [24 Feb 2009]
I don't get it. How is this guy a professor? I thought historical scholarship was supposed to be, well, scholarly. This book does not include any of the rigorous standards of historical scholarship. It is a polemic of the present, not of the past. There...

48 Liberal Lies/Larry Schweikart - [21 Feb 2009]
Excellent read/ I skipped some chapters to jump ahead to areas of history-that interest me: Lie #24 "Abraham Lincoln Only Freed the Slaves to Beef Up His Troop Strength". Many of these agendas and misconceptions that are held by many people shooting their...

Worst Piece of History I've Ever Read - [20 Feb 2009]
Let me just start by saying that this book is currently being used in my American History class as a study on ideological history and to show students that not everything calling itself history is necessarily true. I think that's pretty telling. Basically...

Why Stop at 48? - [14 Feb 2009]
Larry Schweikart offers a great follow-up to his "A Patriot's History of the United States: From Columbus's Great Discovery to the War on Terror" (co-authored with the great western historian Michael Allen). I was particularly fond of Lie #12 regarding...

Lies My Teacher Told Me - [12 Feb 2009]
For a more coherent explanation of why Americans are both apathetic and ignorant of history, read "Lies My Teacher Told Me." Truly a classic in how history is made pathetically boring in high school text books. "48 Lies" is intentionally provocative but...

Incredible! - [08 Feb 2009]
This is the most amazing piece of garbage I have heard since the last time I listened to Rush Limbaughzo. That there are a number of people who agree with this little missive of massive misinformation is simply astonishing!

An easy to follow discussion of issues worth consideration - [05 Feb 2009]
I love doing these reviews. I particularly love the lack of anonymity for most who post their opinions. It is as easy as clicking a link to see the other opinions folks have offered. You can often find that seeing what folks have said about other things...
