The Politically Incorrect Guide to Real American Heroes

De: Brion McClanahan

Narrado por: Tom Weiner

As presidential candidates sling dirt at each other, America desperately needs a few real heroes. Tragically, liberal historians and educators have virtually erased traditional American heroes from history. According to the Left, the Founding Fathers were not noble architects of America but selfish demagogues, and self-made entrepreneurs like Rockefeller were robber barons and corporate polluters. Instead of honoring great men from America’s past, kids today now idolize rock stars, pro athletes, and Hollywood celebrities.

In his new book, author Brion McClanahan rescues the legendary deeds of the greatest Americans and shows why we ought to venerate heroes like Captain John Smith, adventurer Daniel Boone, General Robert E. Lee, and many more. The Politically Incorrect Guide to Real American Heroes not only resuscitates America’s forgotten heroes but sheds light on the Left’s most cherished figures, including Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the Kennedys.

With biting wit and devastating detail, McClanahan strikes back against the multicultural narrative peddled by liberal historians who make heroes out of pop-culture icons and corrupt politicians. In America’s hour of peril, McClanahan’s book is a timely and entertaining call to remember the heritage of this great nation and the heroes who built it.

Brion McClanahan is author of The Founding Fathers’ Guide to the Constitution, The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Founding Fathers, and holds an MA and Ph.D. in American history from the University of South Carolina.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Brion McClanahan identifies some of the long forgotten American heroes who helped shape the greatest quality of life the world has ever known.” (Ted Nugent, rock ’n’ roll legend and New York Times best-selling author)

“You have to read a book that explains why well known men like Robert E. Lee and little known women like Augusta Jane Evans are American heroes, and why PC favorites like the Kennedys and Margaret Sanger should never have been given the title in the first place." (Clint Johnson, author of The Politically Incorrect Guide to the South)

Worthwhile

Very entertaining and informative. I really enjoyed the perspective of many different hero's of our country, unfiltered by the popular whims of current times. The performance by the author was also well done. I highly recommend this book.

Great informative listen.

I enjoyed this book, can’t wait to do another Audible similar to this. Very entertaining.

Well Worth Your Time!

Well done! This book lets the qualities and character of some truly great Americans shine forth. The book displays it's careful research, and thoughtfulness throughout.

This book will show the listener real heros, and real frauds. The heros in this book are the kinds of people I aspire to be like.

A great account of non revisionist history.

A great book to give insights to real American hero’s. I hop this book spurs many on to read and seek out more history that is accurate like this. When you know the truth, history make far more sense.

Great read. We need American heroes.

As someone who doesn’t consider himself woke whatsoever, I was shocked to find out how much I’ve been indoctrinated in my youth. If you were to ask me a decade ago when I was fresh out of high school I couldn’t of told you much about any of these men and women named in the book. Our culture was stolen from us. It’s time to reclaim it.

great narration

opens eyes to the modern spin on false heros. now i must dig deeper into the true stories of real heros listed in this book

A refreshing look at traditional American heroes

Makes me proud to be an American again. Personally, I'm tired of all our heroes being deconstructed and turn apart at every turn in today's America. This refreshing look at traditional American heroes was a well needed and enjoyable read.

The Truth That You Were Never Told

Thank you for exposing who these "so called" heroes really were, and highlighting the real heroes. Men that were not perfect, but stayed the course.

Interesting

The behind the scenes stories of what should have been told instead of hidden. really enjoyed listening.

Overall great

Overall, this book is great but I have one main caveat: I have read some of McClanahan’s other works and listened to his podcast, and I was not expecting such a strong dose of evangelical bias. It’s fine once you realize it’s there and the work compares favorably to other material with this kind of bias but boy was I surprised. Evangelicalism aside, the message of this book if revenant and important for younger generations and I highly recommend it.
