About this audiobook
A conservative historian defends America's past by debunking four dozen common liberal myths
In this follow-up to the best-selling A Patriot's History of the United States, Professor Larry Schweikart once again challenges liberal historians and their shameful attempts to distort our country's legacy. This time he takes on authors of popular textbooks who, in an effort to be politically correct, tarnish America's image in the eyes of our high school and college students.
The problem isn't that liberal authors present their opinions or interpretations of history from an obvious left-wing bias. The problem is authors who actually distort facts and manipulate data in an effort to appear objective and unbiased while furthering their leftist objectives.
Students learn, for example, that the Founding Fathers were elitists who drafted the Constitution in order to protect their own economic interests; That Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation only because he needed black soldiers; That racist groups such as the KKK represented our society in the early twentieth century; That the failures of capitalism caused the Great Depression. All false, as readers will discover.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book should be read or at least heard by every person on the planet! It is engaging, fascinating, educational, and very eye opening with out being 'preachy'. I did not know how much misdirection is considered fact until reading this wonderful wonderful work. I will be following this author from now on

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5By far 48 Liberal Lies About American History is his easiest to read. Thankfully this book is not as verbose as his other similarly formatted books. By this I mean, each "lie" he counter argues is typically two pages long (some are four or five) and are concise, fact-based and persuasive. As a comparison each of his books, "What Would the Founding Fathers Do?" and "7 Events that Made America America", are nearly as voluminous separately as 48 Lies.This books is not only excellent for the information and accurate truths, but it is well purposed for when you don't have time or commitment to read.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5A thinly veiled excuse to justify the Bush presidency, I don't know why I even bothered. It could have actually tried to refer to the subject matter the title references, or justify Bush, not disguise one to do the other.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I must have had a better education than most because while I've heard most of these lies, none of them made into into my textbooks! I found it a fast, interesting, well researched read.
