Leid Stories—Correcting the Record: A Historian’s View of History—02.22.18

Dr. Gerald Horne, one of the most prolific historian-authors of our time, discusses the role of history in a society and, in particular, whether history can be relied upon as a true and impartial account of anything.

Horne’s work (more than 30 books and hundreds of articles and commentaries) relentlessly peels away the veneer of authenticity that mainstream history widely enjoys.

Horne wants the record to reflect the full fight.
