The political direction of the country may be up for grabs until
November, but the right has scored an interim victory — if that’s the
word — in a weeklong contest to determine “the least credible history
book in print” just concluded by the History News Network.

After a week of voting by readers, David Barton’s “The Jefferson Lies”
won with some 650 votes, narrowly edging the left-wing historian
Howard Zinn’s “People’s History of the United States,” which received
641 votes.
