Yes, it is a very good history by free republic member “LS”.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

I’ve read it. I highly recommend it.

Yes, very good book. My son took AP US History and used Schweikert’s book for ‘balance’. In fact, he was so impressed with it that he is considering Dayton (History) for college...

Yes, I have read, and taught, the “Patriot's History.” It is not only a good history, but it also is an effective rebuttal to various other (liberal) histories. The author names the names of those other histories and rebuts them, especially Howard Zinn’s “Peoples History.” So it is a debative, polemical, book.

You might also check out Paul Johnson's “A History of the American People.” I have just finished reading it and really enjoyed his narrative approach. It is a positive, loving, treatment of the American people and culture. Johnson says in his introduction that “I have not bowed to current academic nostrums about nomenclature or accepted the flyblown philacteries of Political Correctness.

“So I do not acknowledge the existence of hyphenated Americans, or Native Americans or any other qualified kind. They are all Americans to me: black, white, red, brown, yellow, thrown together by fate in that swirling maelstrom of history which has produced the most remarkable people the world has ever seen. I love them and salute them, and this is their story.”

Johnson is an Englishman.

I’ll bet freeper LS has read it.

Yes I have read it, good stuff. LS is from Tacoma I believe, right down the road from us here in Seattle.

Paul Johnson's Modern Times is a hard but excellent read. It really focus's on the last 80 years trends toward moral relativism and lack of personal responsibility and how destructive these ideas are toward most of the world.

It's an outstanding book; thoroughly detailed, broad in scope, and an eye-opening alternative to the usual Leftie bile that oozes out of the academy. Buy it - you'll want to refer to it again and again, and Larry can use the royalties.

Plus, the author, once a rock star, is a FReeper. :)
