For the last century, many intellectuals and activists responsible for shaping the way we think about sex, crime, government, and even our very history have been fabricating the facts. And yet they have been published, praised, promoted, and protected by a cultural establishment that has its agendas advanced by disinformation, half-truths, and lies.

As a student of American intellectual history, Cashill has come to see that much of what is taught about the last century is not merely biased but knowingly false. A Ph.D. in American studies from Purdue, and a former Fulbright professor in France, Cashill has taught at several American universities and knows all too well the spin and dissembling of the academic world and public debate.

In this sensational and essential book, Cashill tells the stories behind the fraud and reveals an unsettling pattern of institutional and cultural deception. With wide scope and fine-point scrutiny, "Hoodwinked" finally and definitively exposes the intellectual elite's trumpery―from unwitting self-deception to conscious manipulation of data, from the merely false to the purely fraudulent―and is the perfect antidote for the corrosive disinformation that has poisoned our society, culture, and understanding of the world at large.

Norm Chomsky is one of America's best known public intellectuals, the nation's self-appointed conscience. And, says Arthur Schlesinger, "it has long been impossible to believe anything he says." The bigger problem is that the same―and "worse"―c an be said for much of America's cultural elite, and Jack Cashill exposes them all.

The sexual revolution. Alfred Kinsey encouraged the sexual torture of small boys. Masters and Johnson created an imiainary heterosexual AIDS crisis. Planned Parenthood buried margaret Sanger's plan to sterilize the racially and genetically "impure."

Multiculturalism." "Mumia is guilty. Alex Haley's "Roots" was almost pure fraud. Edward Said grew up a wealthy American, not a persecuted palestinian refugee. University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill faked his identity as Native American and much of his scholarship on genocide. And Michael Moore? He faked just about everything.

Marxism. The "New York Times"' Waltar Duranty won a Pulitzer for denying Stalin's holocaust. Lillian Hellman papered over the communist sabotage of Hollywood with lies. Alger Hiss and the Rosenbergs were guilty as geese.

Radical Naturalism." "Rachel Carson's bogus case against DDT has killed millions needlessly. Overpopulation alarmists predicted worldwide famines before 1999 and were honored for their insights. Neo-Darwinians have been faking their proofs for a century in textbooks and getting away with it.

"Hoodwinked" is a powerful and devastating book that exposes the myriad lies and half-truths that America's progressive elite has used to hijack an entire culture.

AMIDST THE WRECKAGE OF FINANCIAL RUIN, PEOPLE ARE LEFT PUZZLING ABOUT HOW IT HAPPENED. WHERE DID ALL THE PROBLEMS BEGIN?

For the answer, Jack Cashill, a journalist as shrewd as he is seasoned, looks past the headlines and deep into pages of history and comes back with the goods. From Plato to payday loans, from Aristotle to AIG, from Shakespeare to the Salomon Brothers, from the Medici to Bernie Madoff--in "Popes and Bankers "Jack Cashill unfurls a fascinating story of credit and debt, usury and "the sordid love of gain."

With a dizzying cast of characters, including church officials, gutter loan sharks, and even the Knights Templar, Cashill traces the creative tension between "pious restraint" and "economic ambition" through the annals of human history and illuminates both the dark corners of our past and the dusty corners of our billfolds.

From the author of What's the Matter with California? comes a bold, well-researched examination of whether Barack Obama's Dreams from My Father- and whether it is more myth than fact. How did Barack Obama, a man who had previously written little else, suddenly pen what Time magazine calls "the best-written memoir ever produced by an American politician"? Here, in Deconstructing Obama, political scholar and author Jack Cashill analyzes and pieces together Obama's statements about his life to get at the truth behind the man. Cashill's "eureka" moment came when he realized that the structure of Dreams of My Father loosely mirrors that of Homer's Odyssey. From the moment of that revelation, Cashill researched, read, and examined interviews, writings, and statements about the President's life story, focusing especially on a poem written when Obama was nineteen. According to the facts, in conjunction with Obama's statements and writings, Cashill's conclusion is that the stories don't add up-and for the nearly 2 million people who read and accepted the story about Obama's life-the truth is that it may be more myth than history.
