It Is The Retelling Of History From A Point Of View That Differs From The Mainstream, Which Always Treats The Victor (The State) As Glorious And The Conquered (Individual Liberty) As Deserving Of Its Fate Obviously The Libertarian Telling Of American History Is Going To Be Different The State And Its Creations Are Not The Heroes The Producers Of Capital, The Average People, The Voluntary Society: These Are The Forces That Make Up Civilization There Is A Massive Literature Of Revisionist American History It Is So Vast, In Fact, That People Whose Field Is Economics, Law, Or Philosophy Can Feel Intimidated By It All, Especially Since This Material Is Not Taught In Class Must We Accept The Idea That The Architects Of The Constitution Loved Liberty, That Lincoln Was A Liberator, That The United States Had To Crush Spain In The Late 19Th Century, That World War I Was Unavoidable, That The U S Was Always The Good Guy In The Cold War? No, Not At All, Say The Revisionists They Tell A Version Of Events That Turns Every Convention On Its Head But There Is Yet Another Problem Here: Most Of The Major Revisionist Historians Are Writing From The Point Of View Of The Political Left, And Their Interpretation Is Skewed By That Bias What Riggenbach Does Is Offer A Thoroughgoing Critique Of Leftwing Revisionism In Favor Of A Distinctly Libertarian Form Of Revisionism This Book Is A Roundup Of The Major Figures And The Most Important Books; It Is Also A Clear-Headed Assessment Of All The Major Controversies What You Get From This One Book Is What Would Otherwise Take A Student Months Or Years Of Searching In The Library To Locate And Learn There Has Never Been Anything Like It He Covers The Work Of Kenneth Roberts, John Dos Passos, Gore Vidal, Harry Elmer Barnes, James J Martin, Charles A Beard, William Appleman Williams, Murray Rothbard, Thomas Woods, Among Many Others He Weighs On The Great Issues Of Whether The Old Right Was Really Part Of The Right And How The Definitions Of These Terms Change He Defends Thomas Woods Against His Critics Among The Mainstream While Arguing That Woods Is Not A Conservative At All But Rather An Old-Style Liberal This Book Is Written In An Engaging Style, With The Goal Of Sharing As Much Knowledge Of This Literature With The Reader As Is Possible In This Way, This Book Opens Up Whole Worlds You Never Knew Existed There Is No Longer Any Reason To Feel Lost In The Thicket Of Interpretation And Reinterpretation Like Virgil In The Inferno, Riggenbach Is Your Guide Binding:Paperback, PaperbackPublisher:Createspace Independent Publishing PlatformPublication Date:2009-01-01Weight:1.11 lbsDimensions:0.45'' H x 11.02'' L x 8.5'' WNumber of Pages:212Language:English
