Synopsis

As presidential candidates sling dirt at each other, America desperately needs a few real heroes. Tragically, liberal historians and educators have virtually erased traditional American heroes from history. According to the Left, the Founding Fathers were not noble architects of America but selfish demagogues, and self-made entrepreneurs like Rockefeller were robber barons and corporate polluters. Instead of honoring great men from Americas past, kids today now idolize rock stars, pro athletes, and Hollywood celebrities. In his new book,The Politically Incorrect Guide to Real American Heroes, author Brion McClanahan rescues the legendary deeds of the greatest Americans and shows why we ought to venerate heroes like Captain John Smith, adventurer Daniel Boone, General Robert E. Lee, and many more.The Politically Incorrect Guide to Real American Heroesnot only resuscitates Americas forgotten heroes but sheds light on the Lefts most cherished figures, including Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the Kennedys. With biting wit and devastating detail, McClanahan strikes back against the multicultural narrative peddled by liberal historians who make heroes out of pop-culture icons and corrupt politicians. In Americas hour of peril, McClanahans book is a timely and entertaining call to remember the heritage of this great nation and the heroes who built it.

Obviously slanted, and while I appreciate the emphasis on the values he chose, I don't appreciate extremism on either side--so this was informative, made some excellent points, but was riddled with off-putting language for the sake of being politically incorrect. Yeah, I get it, that's the POINT; bu......more

Great Introduction to American Heroes Here's an excellent book for someone not too familiar with great Americans or who would like to learn about a few more. The book has influenced me to learn more about businessmen like Andrew Carnegie and Rockefeller and inventors like Westinghouse and Tesla. The......more

Goodreads review by Jdub on May 20, 2021

This book is exactly what it purports. A right wing perspective on American historical figures. Although, it feels for the most part that it shares facts about the lives and events it reports; it is filled with rhetorical language and skewed assessment. It was hard not to roll my eyes every time is......more
