Excellent read! Wow I learned so much about history in the book. Full of sources to reference. Truly a shame this part of history is hidden and not taught in schools or shared anywhere. If it were I believe many would think differently about the political parties we have today.

Should have investigated first.

I’m disappointed that I didn’t check out the author’s reputation before buying this. Regardless of how this book reads, it is a well known fact, though unknown to me, that this author has little credibility with legitimate historians. If there is reason to doubt the accuracy of the history we’ve grown up with, and we are searching for the truth, it is especially important to be able to trust an author’s reputation. This person has a known agenda, and little authority on the subject. Before devoting any more time to this book, I will try to find an expert in the field. I’m after the truth, whatever it looks like.
