A Patriot’s History of the United States: From Columbus’s Great Discovery to the War on Terror Audiobook

" A VERY long read but worth the time. Interesting how an author's values can determine what is taught or remembered in history - one person's hero can be another's villain and certain important events in history can be totally left out of our childrens' school textbooks without us even realizing it! "

" OMGOSH! EVERYONE should read this! "

" Highly addictive. I missed it on those days I couldn't read it. I absolutely loved this book! "

" I'm loving this book so far! Finally, a history book about America for conservatives! I'm still a long ways from finishing, but this is 830 pages long plus another 70 pages of footnotes. It spans from Columbus to post-9/11. I've been hoping to find just such a book as this, one not tainted by progressive revisionist history. "

" A fantastic way to get "true" American history. For such a thick volume, it reads incredibly well, even humorous in some parts. Refreshing after years in the institution of the university system. "

" I can't believe I actually read this whole thing. I did it bit by bit every day for a year and a half. It was fascinating. I appreciated the more conservative point of view and the inclusion of religion as a vital part of American history. Well written. Definitely worth the read. "

" Ben and I read this together and it opened our eyes to History we have forgotten or never learned. Thought a history book and dry at times, I highly recommend it! "

" A noticeable republican slant, which is ok for me. It is a long but easy to read history that also improved my understainding of how America and the American life is today. "

" It was pretty interesting once I got past the first American settlers but too long to finish in the time I had it on loan. I would like to finish it one day. "

" This was a good, balanced book until it hit the War on Terror, then it leaned so far to the right that it was embarrassing. Some of the events they brought up in relation to the War on Iraq have since been proven patently false. Overall, it was very good. "

" It took me almost 3 months to read this book because it was long and I really had to focus. I learned a lot from this overview of history. I would recommend it. "

" Finally, after 1.5 years (or more - ye gads), I HAVE FINISHED THIS BOOK. So yeah, it's a history. And a good one. But covers almost 300 years. So it takes a while. Still, to be a history it was really entertaining. Pick it up as a reference. "

" A great read. Brilliant and pretty fair. "

" Really enjoyed this book. Fully highlighted and book marked. If you want a true history of the U.S. this is the book to read. "

" I learned so much in this book. It was entertaining and informative. It was long, but I persisted. I thought it was even handed in the beginning, but leaned to the right at the end. That was okay, as I do, too. "

" Want to know how the USA really got started & how the founders (both men and women) intended for the Constitution and the rule of law to be the backbone of this country? Then read this book. "

" This book is like the last refuge of scoundrels. Garbage. "

" Good overall coverage of our history. Has some bias toward the Right but not as bad as the bias toward the Left in many other books. The important thing is his facts seem to be accurate and he presents information left out of many other books. "

" Blinkered garbage. "

" This is an excellent book. I only read parts of it because it was SOOOO long. Very interesting and gives a better understanding of our country "

" An excellent history of the U.S. It does not gloss over the not-so-good parts of our history, but neither does it take the view that everything America has done is wrong. There is a great deal I had never been taught in school within these pages. Highly recommended. "

" The books commits two crimes. On the one hand it is partisan, and therefore poor history, but worst of all it is horribly written and disorganized. If you want an interesting conservative take on American history look into Russell Kirk, who knew how to craft a phrase. "

" This was a great overview of American History! "

" Excellent history of the US from Columbus to 9/11. Everything I learned in school and more, with detail and background. They should use this in schools. "

" The longest nonfiction book I've ever read. Actually, the longest book I've ever read, period. "

" Hard to rate what is basically a text book. A good history refresher. And it only took a couple of years to get through it. "

" This should not be called a Patriot's History. A better title would be a right wing republican's history. If Rush Limbaugh and Glen Beck were to write a history, this would be it. "

" I really liked it. I enjoy reading to gain further knowlegde and insight. "

" Ben and I read this together and it opened our eyes to History we have forgotten or never learned. Thought a history book and dry at times, I highly recommend it! "

" Tries a little too hard. We don't have to gloss over the rough patches in American history to love our country. "

" A very expansive retelling of our country's history - this should be required reading in school. "

" Excellent book on the history of the United States. This is the version those of us a certain age and older remember being taught in public school before the progressives began to change things. I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in political history. "

" This is a book I have learned a lot from and love to read in sections when I am between novels. "

" Not clear on the details of the American Revolution, Pancho Villa, James. K. Polk, the Granger Movement, Progressivism, Prohibition, and the New Deal. Well, this book is just what Dr. Spock ordered.Be aware though, it is, in fact, a history book a can take a while to read (944 pages). "

" a very long book (829 pages) but if half of it is true, we need to throw away our newspapers, CBS, ABC, NBC news. we are being duped by the media and their lack of agenda for the truth....Awesome book... "

" This book should be required US History reading for every middles school and high school student in the USA. "

" Excellent! Nice to learn about the many events that the progressives have removed from other history books. "
