The Winds of Time is a historical tour de force of Western Civilization by Rich DiSilvio.With masterful style, DiSilvio paints a fascinating historical canvas with the flare of a consummate artist. Key figures and the primary cultures that literally shaped the Western world are candidly analyzed, revealing both the dark and luminous sides of mankind, while also debunking the fallacies and myths.As the author says, "The Winds of Time can sometimes be like turpentine, it may be harsh, but it seeks to reveal the truth by washing away the many layers of distortions by countless scribes, propagandists, and revisionists who have done well in colorizing history."DiSilvio sagaciously dissects the lives, achievements, and blunders of Caesar, Augustus, Jesus, Iranaeus, Constantine, Dante, Da Vinci, Queen Elizabeth, the Founding Fathers, Darwin, Tesla, Hitler, FDR, Einstein, Reagan and many more with striking results.In large part, DiSilvio's robust work was written "From and For a New American Perspective," as many insights about America's founding, growth, and current quagmires are perceptively presented, adding new and intriguing dimensions to the historical record.
