Summary
"Remember America? There may come a time when no one will. Maybe it will be a name in a history book--'a nation founded on genocide, built on the backs of slaves, and maintained through the subjugation of women,' as one celebrated critic puts it. There will be no monuments to American heroes, no stories that praise them. The United States will have become a dark chapter in human history, best forgotten. It may sound impossible, but in this eye-opening book, James Robbins shows we are headed that way, driven by a radical Left that controls education, the media, and a major political party. So-called progressives demean, demolish, and relentlessly attack America's past--its leaders, institutions, and national symbols--in order to indict America's present. We mustn't kid ourselves, Robbins warns--the war on history is more than an academic sideshow. This toxic movement has already brainwashed an entire generation and is rapidly dissolving the cultural, historical, and spiritual bonds of our nation. Americans are the custodians of a magnificent legacy of ordered liberty, but to pass it on to our children, we must view the past with understanding, the present with gratitude, and the future with hope, preserving what Lincoln called 'the mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land.' Robbins's compelling book is a call to do just that--and a warning of what will happen if we don't."--Dust jacket
