In this instant New York Times bestseller, America’s top historians set the record straight on the most pernicious myths about our nation’s past

“Outstanding… Wonderfully accessible.” —Washington Post


The United States is in the grip of a crisis of bad history. Distortions of the past promoted in the conservative media have led large numbers of Americans to believe in fictions over facts, making constructive dialogue impossible and imperiling our democracy.  

In Myth America, Kevin M. Kruse and Julian E. Zelizer have assembled an all-star team of fellow historians to push back against this misinformation. The contributors debunk narratives that portray the New Deal and Great Society as failures, immigrants as hostile invaders, and feminists as anti-family warriors—among numerous other partisan lies. Based on a firm foundation of historical scholarship, their findings revitalize our understanding of American history. 

Replacing myths with research and reality, Myth America is essential reading amid today’s heated debates about our nation’s past.

This book is so well-written by the many historians that took part. All of the essays are well-researched by experts on the subjects they tackled and I can’t wait to buy their individual books!

Reading it would have been better than the audio. not being able to see the data and stats impaired my ability to absorb those detail, as I am a very visual learner. The narrators did not make it easier with their monotone.

Non Fiction = not the best audio format.

Sometimes the person reading didn't seem to understand what they were reading, as if this was their first read and they were on autopilot. This made it tough to follow at times. Otherwise, this is an impressive, iff disturbing, history lesson which all serious Americans should consume.

Outstanding Literary Work - with Uninspired Audio

Covers most of the most common myths that appear in the news almost daily. I doubt it will stop the majority of believers from believing the myths (facts seldom do) but it's worth knowing the truth anyhow

Clearly addresses many common myths
