Judith Reisman, a personal hero of mine for doing so much to debunk Alfred Kinsey's pseudoscience, praises A Conservative History of the American Left in a thorough review in The American Thinker. "Kudos to Flynn for his diligent scholarship, pouring over musty, discarded books, and fading parchment paper-confessional letters and button holing graying New Leftists for first-person interviews," Reisman writes. "Wonderfully fresh, this massive tome is an imaginative, prudent critique of a belief system that shaped American history, and that no student will read elsewhere."
Dan, is it possible to track how many college courses are using this book as opposed or in addition to, let's say, James Loewen's "Lies My Teacher Told Me"? I have found that a number of teacher education departments on college campuses use the Loewen text. Have you ever thought about writing a rejoinder to any of his chapters in light of your research from "A Conservative History"?
Nicky: I am unaware of any professor using my book. There is, however, an excellent essay contest for students that Young America's Foundation is sponsoring. So, there are ways of bypassing the profs and going straight to the students. I have read Loewen's book. I wrote about it briefly in Why the Left Hates America. Maybe it rates a second look after all these years.
Just read the log from AT and some guy from Arkansas wrote this:
"I was very impressed with Mr. Flynn's latest offering until I hit the passage where he used the same argument as the Left, namely that Lyndon Johnson "started" the Vietnam War, showing that Mr. Flynn isn't one of the thinking conservatives."
I don't think that's what you wrote. I think I accurately corrected him.
