Since the liberal revolution of the '60s and '70s, American history books have been biased
toward the negative. They overemphasize America's racism, sexism, and bigotry while downplaying
the greatness of her patriots. As a result, more emphasis is placed on Harriet Tubman than on
George Washington, more on the internment of Japanese-Americans during WWII than D-day or Iwo
Jima, more on the dangers we faced from Joseph McCarthy than those we faced from Josef Stalin.

This book offers a long-overdue acknowledgment of America's true and proud history. The authors
reexamine America's discovery, founding, and development with an appreciation for the principles
of public virtue, personal liberty, and private property that have made this nation so uniquely
successful.
