Description

In a lively challenge to mainstream historical myths, Michael Parenti shows how history is the winner's story, and historians prisoners of their own professional and class environment. Tackling the myth of the early church as a movement of the poor and a beacon of light in the Dark Ages, he unmasks the church's support for slavery, serfdom, its suppression of learning and culture, and its oppression of heretics, women and Jews. He also exposes the fallacies of psychohistory and psychopolitics, using Lenin and Herbert Hoover as examples.
