In History on Trial, authors Gary B. Nash, Charlotte Crabtree, and Ross E. Dunn examine the debate over National History Standards, chronicling a media war spearheaded by conservatives and culminating in a Senate resolution that set an ominous precedent: the manipulation of federal funds to promote an official interpretation of history. The book argues that contention over the past is as old as the past itself, that the democratizing of the history profession has led to more balanced presentation of American history, and that continuous re-examination of the past is the greatest service historians can render in a democracy. Wonderfully clear, timely, History on Trial provides a thoughtful account of the ways in which Americans have, since the beginning of the Republic, perceived and argued about our past.
