MUST READ!!!!By DoubleMThis books opened my eyes to how censorship has hidden the true facts of history from generations of school children; who became citizens wihtout benefit of ALL our history. I will not try to expound on the wonder and intelligence of Susan Jacoby's well researched treatise; but highly recommend that those who are appalled by the ways of the world; as we know them today; get a copy and read this book and see how the "powers that be" mesmerize the populace; and use them; to achieve their own nefarious ends.I have always been "out of step" with those who would use me to achieve their own purposes and delighted to know of those brave people who fought the battles against bigoted; ignorant cultures; clerics; governments; and businesses over the centuries. Thanks Ms. Jacoby for confirming that there are; and have been for many years; sane people who inhabit this beautiful blue planet.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. An eye opener and good ammunition in dispelling the incorrectness of those claiming our nation is founded on the bible.By CustomerGreat history of the founding fathers; and the sad state of American intellectual maturity. The more I learn; the less proud I am of our nation in relationship to other advanced nations. We are simply too religious; too stubborn; too willfully ignorant; and too steeped in superstitious nonsense for grown-up nations. My parents always tell me I was so happy when I was a believer....and I have to retort; "Sure; but as a kid; I was happier believing in Santa Claus; but doesn't make sense or reason to start believing; once rational knowledge and thought has dispelled the false."A good read. I read it because I wanted to follow the sequence of her books; and am now reading her "The Age of Unreason." That's America. Unreasonable. Fox-isized into blissful idiocy.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. I was disappointed since these were some of the men I most ...By Jonah D. ConnerSurprisingly doesn't say hardly anything about Mark Twain; and says very little about Jefferson and Thomas Paine. I was disappointed since these were some of the men I most wanted to know about.
