Pat Buchannon besides being an x-politician is also a historian and has a genuine interest in history so I would take what he says as serious and legit.

ok good to know, i don’t know anything about the author so that’s why i was asking.

I’m shocked you would consider reading anything from someone as far right as Buchanan. He make Bush look like a liberal.

Even I would read a book by him with a sceptical eye fearing that his rather warped personal views would slant his view on history.

thanks for the heads up, i’ll keep that in mind when i read the book.

@JayS

Your personal beliefs are always going to tint your opinion of history. Ask a Jewish person and a white supremacist to each write a historic document about Hitler and I bet they differ greatly. For anyone planning to read the book you might want to read a little bit about the author first so you can at least have his views as a reference if some things in the book seem questionable to you is all I’m saying.

quoted for truth. there’s no such thing as a purely unbiased opinion or book, even ones that are based in fact. that’s part of why history is so interesting, at least for me.
