No war in American history is so shrouded in obfuscation and myth than the Vietnam War: "Vietnam" has entered into our national memory as a byword for disaster, usually accompanied by the word "quagmire," and the specter of the war has haunted our foreign policy discussions ever since. Left-leaning historians with a political agenda, aided and abetted by the liberal media, have convinced the world that for America, the Vietnam War was a tragic and dismal failure. Liberal pundits and leftist professors have been telling lies and getting away with it -- despite the fact that the war was televised at the time and has been the subject of innumerable books and studies.

Tom Brokaw labeled the World War II generation the "Greatest Generation," but he was wrong. That honor belongs to the Founders -- the men who pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor for the cause of liberty and independence. This was a generation without equal, and it deserves to be rescued from the politically correct textbooks, teachers, and professors who want to dismiss the Founders as a cadre of dead, white, sexist, slave-holding males. Now, a clear-sighted conservative historian, Dr. Brion McClanahan, does just that. In The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Founding Fathers, he profiles Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Franklin and other important Founders; traces the key issues of the day and shows how they dealt with them; and in the process details the Founders’ deep faith, commitment to the cause of independence, impeccable character, and visionary political ideals.

If you're a typical American, you learned that the 1920s were a time of unregulated capitalism that led to the stock market Crash of 1929 and the Great Depression of the 1930s. You learned that Herbert Hoover was a laissez-faire ideologue who did nothing to alleviate the crisis -- even as citizens starved and were forced to live in "Hoovervilles." And you learned that the interventionist policies and massive spending programs of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal gradually lifted us out of the Depression, until World War II brought it to a definitive end.

Celebrating the 1960s as a glorious time of widespread social rebellion by youthful idealists is a favorite activity of the aging radicals in academia and the media. But the portrait they paint of that decade -- and of its lasting impact on America -- is as false as it is self- glorifying. Now, in The Politically Incorrect Guide™ to the Sixties, Jonathan Leaf tells the real story of that troubled time, and shows not only that Sixties radicals were far more elitist and self-serving than we have been led to believe -- but that their social, cultural and political legacy has been almost uniformly ruinous.

The politically correct history that dominates our schools and universities today insists that Jefferson Davis was another Hitler, Robert E. Lee was the equivalent of Rommel, and the Confederate States of America was our own little version of the Third Reich -- a blot on American history. But reality, as always, was different: the Old South, as H. W. Crocker III explains in The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Civil War, had immense charm, grace and merit -- and a very strong Constitutional case. This book is a joyful myth-busting rebel yell that shatters today’s Leftist and demeaning stereotypes about the South and the Civil War -- and shows why, in the words of G. K. Chesterton, "America and the whole world is crying out for the spirit of the Old South."

Western Civilization is the envy of the globe. It has given to the world universally accepted understandings of human rights (rooted in the Judeo-Christian notion of the dignity of every person as made in the image of God) . . .created standards for art, music and literature that have only rarely been equaled or surpassed outside the West . . .and has originated political and social systems that have spread all across the planet.

The Middle East: it's a region that's almost never off the front pages --yet it's one that most Americans know little about. The mainstream media and Ivy League academics only make matters worse by casting everything in the usual politically-correct mold: Arab terrorists are just desperate freedom fighters, and the region's one Western-style democracy – Israel -- is the oppressor, not least because of its alliance with America. And if Islamic extremism is a problem, the establishment tells us, it's only because, like Christian fundamentalism at home, it's rooted in that source-of-all-evils: religion. A different strain of political correctness has seeped into some minds on the right – most notably the Bush administration, who, so ready to buy into the egalitarian myths we are all taught, believed that Western-style democracy could flourish anywhere. Now, in The Politically Incorrect Guide™ to the Middle East, veteran Middle East correspondent Martin Sieff puts the lie to all these myths and clichés – and gives you everything you need to know about the region to understand its past, its present, and its possible future. read more

Village-atheist assaults on the Bible are now commonplace in public schools, universities, the media, and even some elite seminaries. Acid-tongued pundit Christopher Hitchens and other widely celebrated writers warn the world about the growing menace of religious convictions. The Jesus Seminar and documentaries such as The Bible Unearthed claim to demonstrate that little or nothing the Bible says happened really happened anyway. Even pop culture has gotten into the act, with the TV drama The West Wing and the popular magicians Penn and Teller featuring much-ballyhooed "debunkings" of the truth of the Bible, purporting to show that the book that millions revere as holy is not just filled with silly fables masquerading as history, but with incitements to violence and immorality. But now, in The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Bible, Robert J. Hutchinson sets the record straight. Hutchinson, the winner of eight journalism awards from the Associated Church Press and other organizations, sifts through archaeological and historical evidence to prove that the Bible -- both the Old and the New Testaments -- is on solid ground as history. read more

Nothing is more hated among the trendy Left -- and more misunderstood -- than hunting. But now the intrepid hunter and pro-hunting activist Frank Miniter sets the record straight. In The Politically Incorrect Guide™ to Hunting, he details the concrete benefits that hunting gives to us all -- and even how it helps the environment. Speaking with wildlife biologists, hunters, farmers, anti-hunters, victims of animal attacks, and many more, and examining wildlife studies, animal attack records, news reports, and expert opinions on hunting, Miniter explains how the banning of hunting negatively affects wildlife populations and conservation. read more

The Constitution of the United States created a representative republic marked by federalism and the separation of powers. Yet in recent decades, numerous federal judges -- led by the Supreme Court -- have used the Constitution as a blank check allowing them to substitute their own views on hot-button issues such as abortion, capital punishment and "gay marriage" for perfectly constitutional laws enacted by "We, the People" through our elected representatives. Now, The Politically Incorrect Guide™ to the Constitution shows that there is very little relationship between the Constitution ratified by the thirteen states more than two centuries ago and the "constitutional law" imposed upon us in the name of that Constitution since then. read more

The liberal media and propagandists masquerading as educators have filled the world - and deformed public policy -- with politically correct errors about capitalism and economics in general. And the new Democratic Congress will soon be pushing new socialist initiatives, under the guise of their being "good for the children." But in The Politically Incorrect Guide to Capitalism, myth-busting professor Robert P. Murphy, a columnist and adjunct scholar and frequent speaker at the Ludwig von Mises Institute, cuts through all their nonsense, shattering liberal myths and fashionable socialist clichés to set the record straight. read more

For decades, environmentalism has been the Left's best excuse for increasing government control over our actions in ways both large and small. It's for Mother Earth! It's for the children! It's for the whales! But until now, the doomsday-scenario environmental scares they've trumped up haven't been large enough to give the sinister prize they want most of all: total control of American politics, economic activity, and even individual behavior. Now, in The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming and Environmentalism, Christopher C. Horner tears the cover off the Left's manipulation of environmental issues for political purposes - and lays out incontrovertible evidence for the fact that catastrophic man-made global warming is just more Chicken-Little hysteria, not actual science. read more

The study of literature is essential to preserving Western culture and transmitting it to future generations. Yet today's English departments have come under the control of people who teach anything but the English and American literary classics. Even when the subject is Shakespeare or Faulkner, the professor's own politics -- Marxism, feminism, or some similar radical agenda -- will be the real content of the course. Meanwhile, today's politically correct professors are busy replacing the "dead white males" of the traditional literary canon with the authors of 1980s bestsellers that hit all the politically correct themes. read more

If there's anything the liberal media loves to hate,it's the South. And thanks largely to them,today almost every reminder of Southern history and heritage is under attack: battle flags,soldier statues,even songs such as "Dixie." Now,in The Politically Incorrect Guide to the South,Clint Johnson fights back against this media-led "hate the South" campaign. He reveals that,far from being the backwater of prejudice and hate that liberals would have you believe,the South has always been the center of American culture. read more

In the 1925 Scopes trial, the American Civil Liberties Union sued to allow the teaching of Darwin's theory of evolution in public schools. Seventy-five years later, in Kitzmiller v. Dover, the ACLU sued to prevent the teaching of an alternative to Darwin's theory known as "Intelligent Design" -- and won. Why did the ACLU turn from defending the free-speech rights of Darwinists to silencing their opponents? In The Politically Incorrect Guide to Darwinism and Intelligent Design, Jonathan Wells, Ph.D., reveals that, for today's Darwinists, there may be no other choice: unable to fend off growing challenges from scientists, or to compete with rival theories better adapted to the latest evidence, Darwinism - like Marxism and Freudianism before it -- is simply unfit to survive.

When PC propagandists assure us that jihadist terror doesn't reflect "true," "peaceful" Islam, they're not only wrong, they're dangerous -- because they lull America and the West into letting their guard down against their mortal enemy. And not only do self-appointed "experts" lie elaborately and persistently about Islam -- they have also replaced the truth about Christian Europe and the Crusades with an all-pervasive historical fantasy that is designed to make you ashamed of your own culture and heritage -- and thus less determined to defend it. But now there's a remedy: in The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades), Robert Spencer reveals all the disturbing facts about Islam and its murderous hostility to the West that other books ignore, soft-pedal -- or simply lie about.

For the past forty years, feminists have sought aggressively to remake the role of women in society -- badgering women to steer clear of traditional marriages, work full-time while striving to become CEOs, and put off having children. To further this agenda, feminists and their allies in government, media, and our educational system have put forth a number of dangerous myths about women -- while successfully suppressing evidence of the important inborn differences between the sexes. Now, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Women, Sex, and Feminism exposes the most common and destructive of these myths, and takes on taboo areas of research not discussed in the politically correct world of academia and popular culture.

One of the first things Stalin, Hitler, Mao and other totalitarians did was rewrite the histories of their nations, remaking the past to foster their control of the present. The American Left has done the same thing in our country: most American history books - both for students and adults -- are riddled with PC nonsense that makes the Founding Fathers over into racist slaveholders, the settlers of the West into genocidal land-stealers, and the welfare state into the harbinger of the ultimate triumph of liberalism.

In science, dispassionate, objective inquiry reigns supreme, and researchers will readily give up their most cherished views if the evidence proves them wrong -- right? Unfortunately, the answer is no. Science, like virtually everything else these days, has become a highly politicized field in which the Left has worked energetically to present its pet theories and schemes -- all of which just happen to advance their case for the necessity for ever more government control over our lives. But in The Politically Incorrect Guide to Science, Tom Bethell, who has for several years been making the case for real science as opposed to its politically correct counterfeit in the pages of The American Spectator, sets the record straight about some of the most controversial and politicized issues of our time.

It's an experience familiar to millions of faithful Christians and Jews: A priest, minister or rabbi reads a passage from the Bible -- then delivers a sermon declaring the passage to be somehow false or wrongheaded. How did the Bible lose its authority as the Word of God? The problem, argue Eyal Rav-Noy and Gil Weinreich, is not bad ideology, but bad Bible scholarship. Armed with elaborate theories of multiple authorship -- and sources, phantom editors, and later interpolations -- liberal religionists can profess to revere the Bible, but then find wiggle room to depart from any particular passage they don't like. But now, in Who Really Wrote the Bible?: And Why It Should Be Taken Seriously Again, Rav-Noy and Weinreich show that this "scholarship" is not only demonstrably wrong, but actually makes the Bible harder to read and understand.
