summary

The Killing of History reveals how the trendy academics have garbled the European discovery of America, the Spanish conquest of Mexico, and other topics in an attempt to deny that truth and knowledge about the past are possible. What emerges is an important lesson in the separation of fact from fiction that will do much to rescue history as we know it–and teach it.
