Synopsis One of conservative commentator Larry Schweikart's primary concerns is American history and how it is told--or mistold. When he reads textbooks and general studies, Schweikart sees bias and negativity where he thinks there should be appreciation and celebration for the great story of a nation that is truly exceptional. In THE PATRIOT'S HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES, Schweikart provides a comprehensive--and in his view, corrective--account of the full sweep of American history, beginning with Columbus and ending with the War on Terror. He surveys major events, ideas, and personalities, while providing essential social and political context--and he connects American life today with the principles of the Founding Fathers.

Industry Reviews "[A] frankly nationalistic--often blatantly partisan--text in which the United States is presented as having a duty to lead while other countries apparently have an obligation to follow....This is a point of view with few adherents in the academy these days...but it's surely one that enjoys warm support among many red-state conservatives, and in the halls of the White House."
