The Poisoned Loving-Cup (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781025913018)

"The Poisoned Loving-Cup" is a provocative and detailed critique of early 20th-century American education, focusing on the alleged infiltration of pro-British sentiment in history textbooks. Charles Grant Miller, a staunch advocate for American nationalism, examines how school curricula were being reshaped by international interests, arguing that such changes undermined the revolutionary spirit and foundational identity of the United States.

Miller's work serves as a significant historical document reflecting the intense debates over patriotism and historiography that followed World War I. He meticulously documents specific examples of what he considers biased historical accounts, challenging the motivations of the revisers who sought to align American historical narratives more closely with British perspectives. The book calls for a return to a more traditional, nationalistic historical narrative in classrooms, emphasizing the importance of teaching American history through an unapologetic lens.

This volume is essential for readers interested in the history of American education, the development of national identity, and the study of political propaganda within institutional systems. Through its sharp analysis and passionate rhetoric, "The Poisoned Loving-Cup" offers a unique window into the cultural tensions and intellectual battles that defined American society in the late 1920s.
