The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History

I -listened- to this. And it isn't formatted for that, at all.

I don't particularly think that the first few sections were PI, though the bit about the early settlers thinking the AmerInds were actually white under the dirt was interesting. I'll have to see if I can't corroborate that factoid.

However, as the author gets closer and closer to the now, he gets more reactionary and less ... calm? His “clearing of the air” about the Reagan legacy was a bit confusing to me. I thought it well accepted that there was increased government spending and decreased government revenue during Reagan's time in office, but, since that is what Woods claims to have actually happened. I'm confused.

Also, I'll have to ask my more conservative friends about their opinions on the Clinton scandals. I don't recall anyone being really upset about it, more a little disgusted, a little disappointed. Woods seems to have been personally angered about not only Clinton, but also the LBJ and JFK extramarital affairs.

(2 stars if I'd read it, only 1 star because I listened.)
