A good starting point
Firstly as an amateur historian, I did so enjoy this book. The author has a decidedly old-school conservative viewpoint of American History and gives short shift to any form of PCism.
Saying that, the work while written in an engaging simplistic manner, Dr. Woods seems to ignore blissfully any topics which cause it to deviate from it's shattering of PC icons (e.g. ignoring the Zimmerman Telegram as a major factor in the US entry to WWI.)
However, in general the author does provide alternative narratives to prevailing pre-conceived historical notions, and for that I recommend this book.
