With chapter titles such as Pquot;Patriots or Insurgents?Pquot; and Pquot;The Decade That Roared and WeptPquot;, Plt;iPgt;A True HistoryPlt;\/iPgt; is accurate with respect to the facts and intellectually honest in its presentation and analysis.Plt;brPgt;P#160;Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;Plt;liPgt;Plt;bPgt;Essential reading for every American with a conscience.Plt;\/bPgt;Plt;\/liPgt;Plt;liPgt;Plt;bPgt;Meticulously researched, Sjursen provides a more complete sense of history and encourages readers to view our country objectively.Plt;\/bPgt;Plt;\/liPgt;Plt;liPgt;Plt;bPgt;SjursenP#8217;s powerful storytelling reveals balanced portraits of key figures and the role they played.Plt;\/bPgt;Plt;\/liPgt;P#160;Plt;brPgt;Pquot;Sjursen exposes the dominant historical narrative as at best myth, and at times a lie . . . He brings out from the shadows those who struggled, often at the cost of their own lives, for equality and justice. Their stories, so often ignored or trivialized, give us examples of who we should emulate and who we must become.Pquot;P#160; Plt;bPgt;P#8212;Chris Hedges, author of Plt;iPgt;Empire of IllusionPlt;\/iPgt; and Plt;iPgt;America: The Farewell TourPlt;\/iPgt;Plt;\/bPgt;","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48197995823262,"sku":"UBD-9781586422530","price":49.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781586422530.jpg?v=1787745031","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781586422530","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
