Hey, if I wanted to read an apologia of the Robber Barons, I could literally pick-up a book entitled Myth of the Robber Barons. I did read Paul Johnson because I heard he was respected in conservative circles. If I ever get around to finishing the book, he also has histories of the English as well as the Jews.
Hey, dumbass you ARE reading an apologia for Robber Barons. That's how it got to be "respected in conservative circles" and qualified as able to spoon-feed your prejudices back to you. If you ever get around to finishing the book, I'm guessing it will involve an edition that invites crayon use on its illustrations. After that, I would agree that looking at how an inept fool who fakes history explains the Protocols of Zion should be your next project. Reading objective facts and analysis would likely kill you.
