It just doesn’t make sense, does it?

The America of today shouldn’t exist if what our teachers and overseers taught us about the country’s history were true.

The truth is that nearly all of it was untrue or, at the very best, wildly inaccurate.

Your eyes are not fooling you. There’s no better or more important time than now to smash the establishment’s historical narrative on American History.

A Twisted History of the United States, 1450-1945, is an innovative, rollicking, and eye-opening ride down America’s memory lane that, like all good histories, explains why things really are the way they are today.

Ditch the propaganda goggles and jump into a tempestuous sea of historical tweets and dangerous truths--eyes and minds wide open.

Delivers on the Twisted.

Well, i thought I am an anarco-capitalist Libertarian. What this man is -- is not what I am. He delivers -- in spades -- on the twisted. He loves his assumptions of evil motives and bad actors as the reasons behind the actions of people he does not agree with. This makes the book entertaining in places where I actually knew some of the actors he is writing about. If you remove the motives he assigns often, he gets facts right that people are wrongly taught. It's entertaining to read about how he finds the narrative. It's also possible to misinform badly while relating plain facts.
This is a great book to read if you are under the misapprehension that politicians used to be moral actors and only recently started doing (vague wave of hand to the headlines). That part I agree with wholeheartedly. Where we diverge is whether or not people who have done actions, I consider bad have to mean to do evil. Among where he thinks there are missteps and malevolent are, but are not limited to: COVID is a massive con. Bitcoin is freedom. Pretty much nothing that feminists did to achieve the current state of women has occurred due to the action of anyone intending the well-being of women.

I just don't loathe as many people as he does. If you listen to "shock jocks" and enjoy them, you will enjoy this book. To quote him briefly for a taste "Teddy, the nickname I like to use because I know he hated it" (referring to Theodore Roosevelt). This is absolute rollicking revisionist history, with the definition of "rollicking" being "with spleen".
