America’s top historians set the record straight on the most pernicious myths about our nation’s past.
The United States is in the grip of a crisis of bad history. Distortions of the past promoted in the conservative media have led large numbers of Americans to believe in fictions over facts, making constructive dialogue impossible and imperiling our democracy.
In Myth America, Kevin M. Kruse and Julian E. Zelizer have assembled an all-star team of fellow historians to push back against this misinformation. The contributors debunk narratives that portray the New Deal and Great Society as failures, immigrants as hostile invaders, and feminists as anti-family warriors—among numerous other partisan lies. Based on a firm foundation of historical scholarship, their findings revitalize our understanding of American history.
Replacing myths with research and reality, Myth America is essential listening amid today’s heated debates about our nation’s past.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

The facts presented here are historically true. However the interruptions are the authors view points and opinions.
If the book is required reading at Princeton, I now understand why the college grads today “think”as they do.
One question to the authors; where would this country be today if our forefathers had Not rebelled against the British?
I agree, this country is not perfect, but it is better than most.
I hope to find a book that will tell side 2 of the facts, that way I can determine what I will believe.
