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.

±1±: Best Buy Buy this. I picked up the audio book because of time constraints and have thoroughly enjoyed it. Patrick Lawlor has a pleasant voice, and I appreciate his attempts at accents, and using "character voice" for various prominent historical figures.
Of course the authors have done an outstanding job on this volume. I'm going to assume that since it was recorded in 2007 that the errors mentioned in an earlier review by David Dougherty have been corrected? Since it's audio I have no way of flipping back to aforementioned pages to double check. Perhaps since he ammended his critique, he can speak to this question.
A fantastic perspective on the history of this unique nation that should be in the library of every home, or used as a textbook in American History classrooms. Replete with direct quotes, and balanced criticisms of political leaders and Presidents.
Memory is a gift. It reminds us who we are, where we've been, why certain choices were made, and what mistakes to avoid. If you feel as I do that the collective memory of America has been fading - consider this book a dose of ginko biloba.
The audio book is worth having for the extremely busy person who can enjoy it in the car.
Long term I will also be buying the paperback, so that I can highlight areas, and take notes. on Sale!
