   Ingen/inga Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. Had some interesting points but mostly took those points and drove them into the ground. The book could have had 100 things with shorter explanations and been much more interesting. (  ) bookswoman | Mar 31, 2013 |  The underlying theme to this book is that there are serious lessons in history where society comes to accept a myth, despite historical facts to the contrary. Woods covers a lot of these from a true conservative perspective. He frequently cites, Hayek, Mencken, Rockwell, Rothbard, as well as economists from my alma mater, Richard Vedder and Lowell Galloway. The topics he covers in this book include: Were the American Indians Really Environmentalists?, Were State's Rights Just Code Words for Slavery and Oppression?, How antiwar have American Liberals Really Been?, Did Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal Lift the United States Out of the Depression? and Did the Founding Fathers Believe Juries Could Refuse to Enforce Unjust Laws?

Libertarian author Woods sets the record straight with a provocative look at the hidden truths about our nation's history--the ones that have been buried because they're too politically incorrect to discuss. Woods draws on real scholarship--as opposed to the myths, platitudes, and slogans so many other "history" books are based on--to ask and answer tough questions about American history. Woods's eye-opening exploration reveals how much has been whitewashed from the historical record, overlooked, and skewed beyond recognition.--From publisher description.
