It is worth getting and reading?
Growing up in the ‘50s regardless of what people think was taught, there where not blinders on when people talked about Columbus but it was taught why he came and what he did when he was here.
About 20 years ago a friend who has since passed into the Arms of Jesus gave me a book, it was old. Anyway, it was copies (translated of course) of Columbus’ diary which he wrote on his trip, when he came, the trip back and his returns.
There were parts that made me weep about his intentions.
He was not who is he is now being portrayed.
Oh, back to the question, do you recommend the book or is it as we would suspect based on obama’s own words, worthless revisionist history.
It is worthless revisionist history, and I would not call it any kind of history. It is first and formost anti-Western propaganda.
I read it mostly for the intel value. The same reason why I read the Communist Manifesto (where Karl Marx admits that the capitalists have to build the industries before the communists take over - an admission that the communist ideology can not build anything and is doomed to eventual decline).
