For the past three decades, many history professors have allowed their biases to distort the way America’s past is taught. These intellectuals have searched for instances of racism, sexism, and bigotry in our history while downplaying the greatness of America’s patriots and the achievements of “dead white men.” As a result, more emphasis is placed on Harriet Tubman than on George Washington; more about the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II than about D-Day or Iwo Jima; more on the dangers we faced from Joseph McCarthy than those we faced from Josef Stalin.A Patriot’s History of the United States corrects those doctrinaire biases. In this groundbreaking book, America’s discovery, founding, and development are reexamined with an appreciation for the elements of public virtue, personal liberty, and private property that make this nation uniquely successful. This book offers a long-overdue acknowledgment of America’s true and proud history.

Professor Larry Schweikart critiques the increasing political correctness and distortion in history textbooks over the past four decades. He contends that this trend leads students to graduate with misconceptions about crucial topics such as economics, foreign policy, war, religion, and race relations, ultimately shaping their understanding of the nation's past in misleading ways.

Focusing on pivotal moments often overlooked in mainstream narratives, the author delves into significant events that have shaped American history. With insights from a bestselling coauthor, the book sheds light on these critical instances, encouraging readers to rethink their understanding of the past and recognize the importance of these lesser-known historical events.

Exploring the historical roots of globalism, this book argues that the pursuit of a one-world government has deep origins. Schweikart traces the evolution of globalist ideas and movements, providing a critical perspective on their implications throughout history. By examining key events and figures, the author highlights how globalism has shaped political and social landscapes, challenging contemporary views and encouraging readers to reconsider the narrative surrounding global governance.
