"In A Patriot's History of the United States, Larry Schweikart and Michael Allen remind us what a few good individuals can do in just a few short centuries… A fluid account of America from the discovery of the Continent up to the present day."
--Brandon Miniter, The Wall Street Journal

"No recent American history challenges the conventional wisdom of academics as aggressively as Larry Schweikart and Michael Allen's A Patriot's History of the United States."
--Daniel J. Flynn, Front Page Magazine

"There are a thousand pleasant surprises and heartening reminders that underneath it all America remains a country of ideas, ideals, and optimism--and no amount of revisionism can take that legacy away."
--John Coleman, Humane Studies Review

"A welcome, refreshing, and solid contribution to relearning what we have forgotten and remembering why this nation is good, and worth defending."
--Matthew Spalding, National Review

"Were the Puritans puritanical? Did the robber barons really rob anyone? What made the Great Depression so great? Historian Larry Schweikart sets the record straight."
--Marvin Olasky

"Any reader of Schweikart and Allen's book will see immediately that it is a serious and substantive volume, based on a full recognition of the important secondary sources written by our major historians."
--Ronald Radosh, Front Page Magazine
