Title: An introduction for the high school upperclassman.
Product review: The hype on the dust jacket refers to Kirk as widely learned, but when the historian turns in this survey of the West to the pages covering matters on which he himself is expert, he finds errors galore. It may be true that this book is a good introduction, but it should be understood not to be for the educated. In short, Kirk's failure to find success in academia was not related to his political views, but to his rather shallow grasp of his field -- history.
