Bad Historian Revisited

The Times of London reviews Tom Wood's The Politically Incorrect Guide to the History of America; read it here. The review is noncommittal on the worth of Woods' project. I have already stated my views in an earlier post. Woods is right to say that the textbooks currently available are hopelessly biased toward the left and that a corrective is badly needed. But this is not it. His account is so biased toward the right that it is no better than the texts he criticises.
