Critical Race Theory is a derivative of Communism. It is not something to be debated but a device to shut off all disagreeing thought. It is a form of indoctrination used as a weapon by the enemies of traditional Western civilization and American values. Yet it is now official policy in every major American institution-government, military, media, business, church, synagogue, and education down to elementary school.Historian Philip Leigh is the author of nine books, including some on controversial aspects of American history. In The Deadly Frauds he explains the nature and consequences of Critical Race Theory, its Identity Politics enforcement arm, and the damage they are doing to our civilization.

In The Devil's Town, Philip Leigh, a rising star among American historians, tells the unique and colorful story of the small resort city of Hot Springs, Arkansas---how it became a theater for New York and Chicago mobs during the gangster era. This is a richly detailed tale of a significant part of Southern history--- exploitation of a people's poverty, crime, evasion of law, and local and state corruption. The author names names, some of them of national importance including, among others, Frank Costello, Al Capone, Myer Lansky, "Jelly" Nash, Nick the Greek, Thomas Dewey, J. Edgar Hoover, and presidents Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, and Clinton. *** Even as an author of four Hot Springs books, The Devil's Town entertainingly amplified insight into my hometown -Ray Hanley, author of A Place Apart: A Personal History of Hot Springs *** Comments on Southern Reconstruction "Leigh's Southern Reconstruction is a refreshing anecdote to politically acceptable versions of the story." * "Leigh's latest work Southern Reconstruction is an excellent study of a critical and too often misunderstood part of American history. It is a no nonsense tour de force...." * "I applaud Philip Leigh, and think his book will be historographically significant . . ."

In U. S. Grant’s Failed Presidency Philip Leigh examines the eighteenth President free from the hagiographic bias that has dominated books about Ulysses Grant during the past thirty years. Given his universal acclaim for having won the Civil War, no leader was better positioned to reunite the country “with malice toward none and charity for all” as the earlier martyred wartime President Abraham Lincoln intended. Unfortunately, Grant put personal and political party interests ahead of the country’s needs. Although he personally profited from eight years in the White House, his Administration was laced with corruption and his Reconstruction policies left the South impoverished and burdened with racial unrest for more than a century.Comments on other Phil Leigh Southern ReconstructionHighly recommended.

The book delves into a pivotal moment in the Civil War, highlighting the Confederacy's peak influence between June and December 1862. It argues that the true "high tide" came before Pickett's Charge, coinciding with Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation and the Confederacy's failure to gain international recognition. As battlefield losses mounted and European support waned, the opportunity for Confederate success diminished. Ultimately, this period marked the beginning of the South's decline, characterized by determination amidst inevitable defeat in the following years.

The book delves into the covert trade between the North and South during the American Civil War, highlighting the significance of cotton to the Northern economy. It reveals how captured Sea Islands were utilized for cotton production and how Matamoras, Mexico, emerged as a key trading hub for munitions, much of which originated from Northern sources. The narrative uncovers the intense contraband trade that flourished after key Confederate losses, illustrating how Northerners engaged directly with the Confederate government for cotton. This study enriches the understanding of wartime commerce.
