America’s top historians set the record straight on the most pernicious myths about our nation’s past.

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 listening amid today’s heated debates about our nation’s past.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

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!

Fantastic

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

This is an essential read/listen for all who desire to stay abreast of the true history of 20 of some of the most consequential myths in our country today - myths skillfully crafted by those who seek to distort our understanding of history and social, political & economic reality to maintain inequity division and fear. Should be in all high school and college history programs not only for the myth-busting but also to expose the manner in which these myths are created and absorbed by so many.

White sprinkled with interesting facts the overall left winged bias is obvious as little controversy over the findings is presented.

Mostly factual but biased overall

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

I have been taught there are 3 sides to every story. Side 1; side 2 and somewhere in the middle is the true story.
The facts presented here are historically true. However the interruptions are the authors view points and opinions.
If the book is required reading at Princeton, I now understand why the college grads today “think”as they do.
One question to the authors; where would this country be today if our forefathers had Not rebelled against the British?
I agree, this country is not perfect, but it is better than most.
I hope to find a book that will tell side 2 of the facts, that way I can determine what I will believe.

One sided

A good perspective, specially with the fear that has been sowed into the Caucasian population and gives a good light on how cheating is permitted as long as they do it.
