<div>Biography </div> <div>James S. Robbins is a editor for USA Today, Senior Fellow for National Security Affairs at the American Foreign Policy Council and a member of the advisory board to the National Civil War Museum. Formerly, he was an award-winning editorial writer at the Washington Times, prof at the National Defense University, and special auxiliary in the Office of the Secretary of Defense. </div> <div>  </div> <div>Dr. Robbins hampers a Ph.D. from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. His records include Erasing America: Losing Our Future By Destroying Our Past( 2018 ), The Real Custer: From Boy General to Tragic Hero( 2014 ), This Time We Earn: Revisiting the Tet Offensive( 2010) and Last in Their Class: Custer, Pickett and the Goats of West Point( 2006 ). The" American Taliban" has set out to destroy our home countries. James Robbins is not content to sit by and let that happen. The debasement of American gravestones and American record should be sufficient to alert all thinking and dedicated Americans( of all races and situates of origins) to the dangers of artistic extinction. Unhappily, the left's frightful attack on American history has not notified enough Americans. Robbins book, Erasing America, is a wake-up call .</ div> <div>  </div> <div>The destruction of America's past is the greatest threat to her future. And not only have criminal matters brains of the desroyers assaulted the past, they have invented its replacement--the idea that America was never huge, never laudable, never a saving Grace to a troubled and </div> <div>dangerous world .</ div> <div>  </div> <div>Robbins book is not a clear description of the lunacy of the American left and the rabble it reinforces, it is a call to appendages. No civilization has previously been _empty_ a successful devastation of its history. And America, founded on an idea, that of individual freedom, is perhaps more susceptible than all our countries in record .</ div> <div>  </div> <div>Read this book and get angry. Recollect how the death of a statue of a civil war protagonist in Dallas is a threat to your American way of life in Duluth or Wichita .</ div> <div> <div>Each individual occurrence is distressing but apparently innocuous until you read the massive sweep of what is happening in this country. And James Robbins pulls the various threads together to show that the eroding is FAR from innocuous, and our country is gradually losing its name and is careening towards a virtual drain eggshell of identity politics with no uniting floor. From the extinction of our bronzes, the kneeling of our football players, the increases of inexhaustible hostile and expecting "groups", and the vacuum-clean of communals and history in our classrooms, we are reminded that there is a hugely injuring undertow at work and that we need to recognize the central theme and react before "its too late" .</ div> <div>It was a big wake up call to me, with two young men for sons, to take the time to sit around the dinner table, explain the Constitution and the blood, sweat and snaps that went into it, the painful lessons of the Civil War and why we shouldn't obliterate our recognition of those, and why the often shunned and maligned tradition of honoring our pennant and learning communals in a structured method are critical to the future of this large experiment .</ div> <div>Highly recommend this brilliant book which controls, in an impeccably researched style, to take so many disparate existences, gather them together, and lay out a suit of the reasons why they organize a picture of a exceedingly frightening, barren future. And affords a large decree planned of the direction forward that we should all be foreseeing to enshrine the very best in its own country, and to pass it on intact to our future generations. Exiting on my Christmas gift-giving register for several people .</ div> </div> <div> <div>I was fortunate to receive an advance imitate of James S. Robbins' notebook "Erasing America" recently and can commonwealth without reservation that this is a act that everyone in America needs to read if you evaluate its own history, our culture and our future .</ div> <div>  </div> <div>Robbins methodically and with his signature attention to detail spotlights the efforts being made by the left/ progressives/ progressives in America to reshape what America symbolizes, to rewrite the history books, to redefine everything across the broad range of American culture and biography to indicate what they believe this country should be- specific an unexceptional country founded by "... seriously shortcoming men who have been falsely promoted as heroes ." Rather, Robbins clear the contention that" Americans are the protectors of a stately bequest of ordered liberation, but to pass it on to our children, "were supposed to" contemplate the past with understanding, the present working with gratitude, and the future with hope, preserving what Lincoln announced  " the mystic chords of remembrance, unfolding from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this vast territory ."</ div> <div>  </div> <div>England's Oliver Cromwell is famously said to have instructed his portraitist to include everything in his likeness, "Warts and all." Definitely, that was the only direction to record the full measure of his being .</ div> <div>  </div> <div>Robbins' points out a same approach needs to be with America, that an gratitude and understood it where we are and where we will go is absolutely dependent on and intrinsically bind to where we came from and which is something we went through. Good bad or inattentive, "warts and all" is how we need to see ourselves .</ div> <div>  </div> <div>In today's context of bogus news, name politics, the erasing of our past, and the constant reshaping of a narrative to drive a specific political point, James S. Robbins' record "Erasing America" is a vital and must-read for ALL Americans, of all political stripes, to ensure we is not merely remember and draw lessons from our past, but to continue to build on a" narrative of optimism and revelation endure of free ."</ div> </div>
