About this audiobook
"The problem in America isn't so much what people don't know; the problem is what people think they know that just ain't so." —Thomas E. Woods Most Americans trust that their history professors and high school teachers will give students honest and accurate information.

Woods reveals the truth behind many of today's prominent myths....
