Synopsis
"Thought-provoking--a must read for [everyone] seeking a firm grasp of accurate American history." --Kirkus (starred review) Brilliant, readable, and raw . Maj. (ret.) Danny Sjursen, who served combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and later taught history at West Point, delivers a true epic and the perfect companion to Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States . Sjursen shifts the lens and challenges readers to think critically and to apply common sense to their understanding of our nation's past--and present--so we can view history as never before. A True History of the United States was inspired by a course that Sjursen taught to cadets at West Point, his alma mater. With chapter titles such as "Patriots or Insurgents?" and "The Decade That Roared and Wept", A True History is accurate with respect to the facts and intellectually honest in its presentation and analysis. Essential reading for every American with a conscience. Meticulously researched, Sjursen provides a more complete sense of history and encourages readers to view our country objectively. Sjursen's powerful storytelling reveals balanced portraits of key figures and the role they played. "Sjursen exposes the dominant historical narrative as at best myth, and at times a lie . . . He brings out from the shadows those who struggled, often at the cost of their own lives, for equality and justice. Their stories, so often ignored or trivialized, give us examples of who we should emulate and who we must become." --Chris Hedges, author of Empire of Illusion and America: The Farewell Tour, "Thought-provoking-a must read for everyone seeking a firm grasp of accurate American history." -Kirkus (starred review) Brilliant, readable, and raw .

Written in vivid, engaging prose by a combat veteran of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and a former professor of US history at The United States Military Academy West Point, his alma mater, this book grew out of a course that Daniel A. Sjursen taught to cadets. With chapter titles such as "Patriots or Insurgents?" and "The Decade That Roared and Wept," Sjursen challenges readers to think deeply and critically and to apply common sense to their understanding of our republic's history. Covering all of the major events, movements and figures in American history, Sjursen shifts the lens, offering fresh insights and uncommon empathy. A True History is accurate with respect to the facts and intellectually honest in its presentation and analysis. Book jacket.

I received my purchase quickly and I had a quick response from seller when I had a question. I would purchase again from seller.

- 2***d (4357)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufGood seller, shipped fast. Little problem with the box it was shipped in. It was packed with these books & 2 others & had come open in shipping. The Post Office put some heavy white tape to hold it together & there was small damage to some of the items, not anything to really complain about. I wanted all these items & I appreciate the discount that was given. Will buy from again & tell the Shipping Dept. to be careful about over-loading the box. Blessings.
