Pretty much trash. Our book is far more accurate, has more detailed and recent scholarship behind it ("A Patriot's History of the United States.")

Word is that Regnery saw our blurb 1.5 years out on the Penguin catalogue site and hired Woods to beat us to the punch with a "quick and dirty" version of our book.

Read the reviews in the "Claremont Review of Books" of both his and ours, or in National Review Online. Claremont calls it "Mostly Iaccurate Guide."

Our book, on the other hand, has been VERY favorably reviewed by CRB, NRO, the Wall Street Journal, even the NY Times gave us some grudging props. Rush interviewed me for his March "Limbaugh Letter" and features the book on his library page. Even the Libertarian "Independent Institute" gave us a great review, and we were nominated for their award for the book that "most advances the cause of liberty."
