About the author: Chris Rodda is someone who never intended to be a writer, but got pissed off enough at the rampant Christian nationalist revisionism of American history that she decided to write a book about it, which somehow led to her "day job" as Senior Research Director for the Military Religious Freedom Foundation. She is also a blogger on the Huffington Post and Talk2Action, writing about historical revisionism, religious issues in the military, and whatever else she feels like writing about

to fight the lies. I really was unaware of many of these lies, since I don't frequent the websites that are revising history. But maybe I should be more aware of what is going on behind my back.

This book is an eye-opener to me regarding what is being stated as facts in the world of the religious zealots. Thanks for posting this.
