"One that really caught my attention was the Balkan situation. Wells suggests that Clinton abused military power, had our government grossly exaggerate atrocities against Albanian Muslims (400,000 claimed, vs. under 2,500 estimated) to justify the action, and ultimately left the region with an “uneasy, unstable, and unenforceable peace.”

Should read...... In fact, Wells takes the Republicans to task for their response to former Impeached President Clinton’s wrongdoing: “As despicable as the president’s philandering was, the GOP leadership’s decision to dwell upon various aspects of the president’s character left the impression—even if unintended—that his policies were not so objectionable.” The author then lays out what he finds were some of the worst examples of bad policies, though largely perceived as positive.

My apologies for not bringing a should-be classic, "The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History," to the attention of our Internet readers in a more timely fashion. What Dr. Thomas Woods does is directly confront many of the falsehoods that are weighing down Americans with boatloads (dwarfing the Mayflower) of junk knowledge.Thomas Woods bump. He dispels the myths of lincoln, FDR, the robber barons, etc. The book is worth the price if just for the recommended reading list
What's really good about this book is that one could almost use it as a textbook for younger readers as well. Get the myths out of the way before the indoctrination they get in public school

What caught my attention was the mention of the Scopes Trial. The play and movie totally misreresented what happened there. My mother knew Mrs, Scores personally--her husband was later in the oil field. The Darrow team was totally at each others' throats in the end.
