Synopsis

America is hopelessly divided, but more worryingly, the ideas and “mystic chords of memory” that rest at the cornerstone of our civilization and bind the generations are being severed, attacked, and forgotten. The left has set out to shatter these bonds with a war on American history—the fundamental concepts, institutions, and icons that make our country what it is. And we have failed to protect our history, allowing Hollywood, educators, and the media to rewrite the story of America. We have ignored the invaluable lessons of our parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents. If we wish to hold onto their vision of America, we must once again try to understand and defend the world-shaking ideas, actions, and men who made America great.

Goodreads review by Dan on October 04, 2020

Defensive and unimaginative restatement of American exceptionalism. It minimizes and at times seeks to justify America’s sins while using the sins of other nations to justify our aggressions against them. I downloaded it because it was free on Audible and I felt I needed to take in something to bala......more

Goodreads review by Timothy on April 29, 2020

I almost never use a quote from a book I've read in my review but this line from page 242 is worth the exception; "Deep down, perhaps, what these statue topplers are rebelling against is their own failure to accomplish anything of note." Ha !!! How true. How true. This book is a great lesson in hist......more
