Myths and Men - Patrick Henry, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson

Informationen zum Autor Bernard Mayo (1902-1979) studied and taught the early periods of American history, focusing on specific historical figures such as Thomas Jefferson. He is the author of numerous books including "Thomas Jefferson and His Unknown Brother" (1981) and "The Philosophy of Right and Wrong: An Introduction to Ethical Theory" (1986). Klappentext In the role of "historian-detective” Bernard Mayo presents in lecture form three case histories in hero-worship. These abundantly illustrate the uses and abuses of history, revealing how the flesh-and-blood men, humanly fallible yet with the inspiring qualities of greatness, have been distorted and obscured by conflicting interpretations and by myths that defame and myths that glorify.
