5.0 out of 5 starsA fantastic book for anyone interested in "real" American heroes who created and contributed to true American values.
By Joseph J. Truncale TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on December 5, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I have always been interested in American history and it seems in our “brave new world” of embracing socialism and collectivism our real American heroes are seldom written about. This is why I purchased this fantastic book (The Politically Incorrect guide to Real American Heroes by Brion McClanahan, Ph.D.) at a bargain price on Amazon.

This large 269 page soft cover book is organized into two parts with a total of 17 informative chapters. Part one covers the “real heroes.” They list explorers, founders, sailors, frontiersmen, southerners, northerners, and traditional women, captains of industry, inventors, underdogs, soldiers and aviators. Part two is about “the frauds” which I found the most interesting part of this volume. They include progressive frauds, Democratic frauds, Fascist frauds, feminist frauds and family frauds.

This very interesting and informative book provides a more pro-American approach to history as compared to the “blame and hate America” historians which seem to dominate our colleges and universities today. The author (Brion McClanahan) holds a Ph.D. in history and has written other history volumes about our country.

If you are seeking a more politically incorrect but more balanced and objective view of America’s heroes this book is for you. I found it a great read.

Rating: 5 stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Never Trust a Politician: A critical view of politics and politicians).

4.0 out of 5 starsGood illustrations, yet some had failings
By Efrem Sepulveda on July 6, 2013
Format: Paperback
Brion McClanahan's book on American figures in our country's history runs at 242 pages with a short end note section and index with the bibliography spread out through the book via the "a book you are not supposed to read" captions. In this day and age of cheap heroes, McClanahan takes us back to the times when men and women expressed extraordinary qualities of hard work, stern leadership and sacrifice that set them out from the crowd. Explorers, sailors, frontiersmen, inventors (I love Westinghouse), aviators and the like are introduced to us in summary fashion to tell us why we should look up to them. The author presents examples for us NOT to look up to toward the end of the book. Progressives, authoritarians and general frauds are mentioned with the most prominent ones being Franklin Roosevelt, Margaret Sanger and Woodrow Wilson.

The book was an easy read and I look forward to reading the in-depth books suggested by the author. I do have some disappointments with the book. General Custer was definitely a man that bucked the system and accomplished much during his day despite genuine hardship. However, his conduct at Washita Battlefield in Oklahoma Territory was a sorry spectacle in that he charged his men into a camp and killed the peaceful Cheyenne chief Black Kettle in the process. Winfield Scott was indeed a brilliant general, but, unlike Custer, his actions were wrong not because of anything he did, but because of our aggression into Mexico.

The book makes for good reading and many of the men and women mentioned in this book are well-worth admiring. However, one must keep in mind that men have feet of clay and will let us down no matter how brilliant they are or were. Four stars.

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent guide to those who have made a difference in our history
By Brett Moffatt on December 14, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This is an excellent book, which helps to correct the imbalance we see in the telling of history in our far too politically correct world. SInce there is no agenda at work here, the stories of these American heroes is told in a factual and easy to read style. It is refreshing to have the truth available in such an interesting book. You can learn how real people made a difference in American history through their deeds and actions based on principles which have guided our nation's growth.

5.0 out of 5 starsA great reminder of the spirit of those who shaped America
By Carl Jones on November 19, 2012
Format: Paperback
Today, the term "hero" is one of the most misused words in the American vocabulary. Many people that the modern generations refer to as "heroes" are people whose lives more clearly reflect the qualities that past generations would have thought buffoonish. Celebrities, athletes, politicians, even in the rare occurrence where they encompass "admirable" characteristics in their lives, simply do not meet the criteria of REAL "hero" when compared to a George Patton, Daniel Boone or Buzz Aldrin. Reggie White, for example, is an athlete who led an admirable life as an athlete and as a person. But did his contributions to the direction of the country measure up to the title of "hero" on a grand scale? Hardly. As well, it is often not even the good men like Reggie White who dominate discussion among sports stars, celebrities or other areas of public life. Generally, it is the stars who possess much lower character, and exhibit far less personal responsibility in their personal lives.

Brion McClanahan's new book "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Real American Heroes" makes a grand step towards putting the term "hero" back into its proper context and definition. With short bios on people like Daniel Boone, John Paul Jones, George Washington and Robert E. Lee, those who read this will, often for the first time, get a taste of what REAL heroism encompasses. America needs knowledge of these people, and the example that they provide more today than perhaps at any other time in our history. A wonderful book, by a thoroughly capable author and a historian of the highest order.
