Getting It Wrong

The Price of Biased History

Edwin P. Dean,

About this book

In Getting It Wrong, Edwin Dean embarks on a compelling exploration into the fading realms of an elite class and its tightly held worldview, juxtaposing it against his own grounded perspective of the world we inhabit. This thought-provoking journey forms the crux of the narrative, unearthing the nuanced layers of understanding that often elude the grasp of conventional thought.

Dean's incisive dissection shines a light on the perilous journey historians embark on in their earnest quest to unravel the intricacies of human narrative. With a candid acknowledgment of the elusive nature of clear answers, Dean lauds the humble scholars who embrace the ambiguity inherent in the pages of history, urging the fraternity to delve into the less apparent yet profound dimensions to better comprehend our existence.

While not a historian, Dean's unquenchable thirst for books has led him through a myriad of intellectual realms, enriched by the inspiring mentors who fueled his enduring quest for knowledge. His insightful critique extends to the polar ends of political ideology, advocating for a more collaborative discourse and a keen ear for the diverse voices that echo through the corridors of debate.

At the heart of Getting It Wrong lies a fervent call for a reinvigorated approach to education, recognizing it as the linchpin in our collective journey towards enlightenment. Dean's narrative invites a discourse enriched by diverse perspectives, welcoming the echoes of disagreement, provided they resonate through calm and constructive channels. Through the lens of candid reflection and earnest discourse, Getting It Wrong challenges us to re-examine the frameworks through which we perceive our shared history and our place within it.
