A warning against political correctness
This was not what I expected but it was compelling and informative. Those who do not understand history are doomed to repeat its mistakes and likewise unable to understand the real value of the roots of our civilization. Unfortunately none of these lessons are part of the modern day school curriculum.

Oy
This is a Republican primmer: Utterly useless in logic, full of fallacy, very phallic. Fifteen words

An education in the lost teachings of Man
I loved it. A must read for those who are interested in what has been lost in society due to the removal of the teachings of history, and all that there is to learn from it. We can never know where we're going without the examination of where we have been.

insightful book read by a terrific reader.
Professor Esolen has written a gem that reminds us of the foundations of the Judeo-Christian West. While he notes that these foundations have been gravely shaken in the past few hundred years, he is still hopeful for it.

I was expecting a spin on history different than what one would find in a traditional classroom... not an outright white supremacist good old boys version.

Excellent!
Only the politically incorrect will have a civilization in the next generation. The vapid politically correct ones will find themselves in an abyss of despair, decline, and destruction brought upon by their selfish choices.

This is neo nazi garbage
Basically this, it’s a neo nazi talking point as podcast. What’s next a white genocide podcast?

If you want something historically accurate this book is not for you. Political correctness is not a message of destruction. It’s called being a decent human being and understanding that there’s nuance in everything.

Biased
Extremely biased right wing commentary. I couldn't get through even an hour of this. This is so backwards...especially around women's rights. Who seriously thinks women had it made in ancient roman times when they rarely even had a name (typically they were just called by their family name) and the patriarch of the family had complete control over them and could even legally kill them??
