Patriot's History of the United States approved for 4th edition
self ^ | 5/15/2018 | LS

Sentinel (Penguin/Random House) has just authorized a new edition (4th) of "A Patriot's History of the United States" written by Larry Schweikart (LS) and Mike Allen. This will be the 30th printing of the book since 2004 with a half-million copies in print.

The new edition, expanding on the 10th Anniversary Edition in 2014, will cover all of US history from Columbus's discovery of the New World to the end of Trump's second year.

That means all of Zero's useless presidency will be included. Since Trump is erasing it as fast as possible, there may not be much to cover (joke). Of course there will be lotsa crime there.

In conjunction with this, not only have we updated and expanded all of our teaching resources on our FREE site, www.patriotshistoryusa.com, but in January I will launch my own site with video lectures and other products that will also support the Patriot's History series. This series now includes: *A Patriot's History of the United States *The Patriot's History Reader (a documents collection) *A Patriot's History of the Modern World, vol. 1 & 2, both with Dave Dougherty (a two-volume series of the whole world, with special focus on America, from 1898 to 2012).

In addition, the biography of Ronald Reagan by LS, "Reagan: the American President," which had been due for release from Milo's "Dangerous" books, has been canceled with the ending of funding for Milo's businesses. However, while I am not yet at liberty to say the new publisher (still signing the deal) it's pretty certain a very good publisher has this and we are now looking at a Christmas release.

I do not know if we will keep the same title. The book relies heavily on Reagan's presidential papers in the Reagan library, NOT interviews with old pals or people in the administration. Most of these papers have never been used or made public before. More after the deal is finalized.

Thanks. My wife and I have a deal:

No new books for me (no room) except for Kindle books.

She has to give one to the library to get another book from me or from herself.

Larry, you signed both my Dad’s and my 1st edition hardcover copies of Volume 1 of PHOTUS. My Dad passed away so my son is now the owner of that book plus PHOTMW 1 & 2. Congrats on yet another printing!

"I use this book with my Scout Units. It is the basis of all three MBs (Citizenship in the Community, Nation, and World)."

____________

I placed a couple of Larry's books in some local libraries in and around Pittsburgh.........

......... along with "VOTESCAM: The Stealing of America" by the Collier brothers.

The thing I try to impress on these kids is that these people are NO DIFFERENT IN ANY RESPECT than they are.

That things had to get bad, so bad that regaining their freedom was almost not possible (cue the Churchill quote).

That law, in an of itself, doesn’t make things moral.
