The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Sixties

De: Jonathan Leaf

Narrado por: Rick Silversmith

In this blast from the past, Leaf exposes the lies and busts the myths propagated by the liberal establishment. Did you know that the civil-rights movement did little to improve the lives of average African Americans and that most Americans actively supported the Vietnam War and the draft?

The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Sixties proves that the anti-Vietnam War sentiment and free-love slogans that supposedly defined the decade were just a small part of the leftist counterculture. The mainstream culture was more politically incorrect, but you'll never hear that from a liberal pundit or read it in a politically correct textbook.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Has any decade been more mythologized than the 1960s? I doubt it. Read Jonathan Leaf, who corrects and debunks the conventional wisdom - and who also teaches us interesting and important things about that time, and ours." (William Kristol, editor, Weekly Standard)
"Jonathan Leaf almost makes the 60s worth it in this merciless debunking of the myths of our decade of shame. Fun, informed, and - above all - valuable." (Rich Lowry, editor, National Review)

I'm an intelligent flag waving American...

...and I agree with some of what is stated...BUT other things I don't recall happening as he said. And boy does he have disdain for Mick Jaggar. If you weren't there read this with a grain of salt.

Straight talk

Funny, incisive, and informative. Made me laugh frequently. About the right length and doesn't get bogged down. Must read/listen about the Vietnam war.

Another Good One

This is the 6th or 7th one of these that I have listened to and they have all been really good, this one ranks somewhere in the middle, but its just because of topic interest.

Truth will not be silenced

Setting the record straight and also identifying the subtle sources which are at work today to dismantle society. Nothing new but nothing we cannot deal with and overcome!
