Sorry. Any list that doesn’t have “A Patriot’s History of the United States” on it isn’t a list. :)

I haven't read your book, but I plan to after Christmas. It's on my wish list.

Summa Theologica

IF you want to reinforce your understanding of the Bible, take on this challenging script.
I recommend the Concise Translation, edited by Timothy McDermott.

The 50 page Preface will let you know whether you’re up to the depth of the text.

Somebody presented this to Ronald Reagan and it profoundly shaped his perspective.

agreed, The Art of War should be on that list along with...

On Liberty, John Stuart Mill
On War, Carl von Clausewitz
Uncle Tom’s Cabin, Harriet Beecher Stowe
Summa Theologiæ, Thomas Aquinas

and even though they affected history negatively...

Mein Kampf, Adolph Hitler
Quotations from Chairman Mao, Mao Zedong

2. The Qur’an (negative influence)

3. The Summa Theologica (Dogma)

6. Communist Manifesto (very distorted negative influence)

8. On the Origin of Species (false premis of Darwinism)

10. Atlas Shrugged (novel, very forward thinking and true to life but roots of Objectivism)

I have respect for your perspective, but is this an original list?
