The left wants to erase the true and noble history of America. We cannot let them. Erasing America sets the record straight on who we are and why ours is the greatest nation on God's earth." -- Sebastian Gorka, Ph.D. "In almost every way, the symbols and myths of a people matter intensely and fundamentally. They tell us who we are, what we were, and what we should be. Erasing America is a tour de force in the tradition of the great Roman historian Livy. With his detailed analysis and powerful stories, James Robbins demonstrates that what was once the greatest nation in the history of the world has become -- at least according to its cultural elites -- a whirligig of chaos, deception, and uncertainty. The real America remains, however, only awaiting us to remember it." -- Bradley J. Birzer, Russell Amos Kirk Professor of American Studies, Hillsdale, College. "James Robbins has written a richly informed book about the campaign to demonize America by erasing and then rewriting its history. This is a totalitarian agenda, and Americans who love their country should arm themselves with Robbin's book." -- David Horowitz, author. "Divided We Fall. Remember America? There may come a time when no one will. Maybe it will be a name in a history book -- "a nation founded on genocide, built on the backs of slaves, and maintained through the subjugation of women," as one celebrated critic puts it. There will be no monuments to American heroes, no stories that praise them. The United States will have become a dark chapter in human history, best forgotten. It may sound impossible, but in this eye-opening book, James Robbins shows we are headed that way, driven by a radical Left that controls education, the media, and a major political party. So-called progressives demean, demolish, and relentlessly attack America's past -- its leaders, institutions, and national symbols -- in order to indict America's present. We mustn't kid ourselves, Robbins warns -- the war on history is more than an academic sideshow. This toxic movement has already brainwashed an entire generation and is rapidly dissolving the cultural, historical, and spiritual bonds of our nation. Americans are the custodians of a magnificent legacy of ordered liberty, but to pass it on to our children, we must view the past with understanding, the present with gratitude, and the future with hope, preserving what Lincoln called "the mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land." Robbins's compelling book is a call to do just that -- and a warning of what will happen if we don't." -- from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: James S.
