The Radical Wrong Lies Our Founding Fathers Never Told Us Washington Jefferson Lincoln & Others Refute Right-Wing Extremists

Victor Daniels is Professor Emeritus of the California State University, where after earning a Ph.D. in psychology from UCLA, he taught for 40 years and also served as Psychology Department Chair. Later he trained in Gestalt Therapy. Outraged by directions our nation has taken in the last half-century, he felt compelled to write this book to dispel widespread misconceptions about the views of the U.S. founding fathers and what has happened since their time. Married for 34 years, with two adult children, he now spends his time writing, tending a small orchard, and carrying out ongoing woodsman's and erosion control projects along the creek that flows near his home. Born in a small mining town in northwestern Utah, he grew up in Utah, Nebraska, Florida, California, and on and around Army posts and Air Force bases in Germany, France, and England where his parents worked during the period after World War II. As a result of spending his childhood in four countries, he developed a sense of perspective that is hard to come by when you grow up in just one. After completing his Ph.D., he was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Chile during the term of President Eduardo Frei Montalva, the president who preceded Salvador Allende, before the fascist General Pinochet murdered the latter and set up a terror-based dictatorship to replace Chile's democracy (which has since been restored). He has previously written Matrix Meditations (with K.N. Daniels); Tarot d'Amour, (also with K.N. Daniels); Being & Caring: A Psychology for Living (with L.J. Horowitz); and numerous online articles on Gestalt Therapy.
