The Anti-Revisionist Establishment by Anthony Gregory

How interesting it is that the mainstream left and neoconservative right are equally appalled by Tom Woods' book, The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History. But it makes sense. Unlike many libertarians, I never really thought of the conventional history taught in schools as uniformly "leftist," but rather as simply pro-establishment. Statist liberals and conservatives both have a stake in preserving the historical interpretation that upholds Lincoln, Wilson and FDR as the great heroes in the sweep of American history.
