According to
E. J. Dionne, Riggenbach's first book, In Praise of Decadence (1998), argued that American
baby boomers turned out to be more disdainful of authority, regardless of the particular issues involved, than had previously been understood.[7]
His second book, Why American History Is Not What They Say: An Introduction to Revisionism (2009), argued that political events and trends in late 20th Century America had led to a rebirth of popular interest in
revisionist accounts of American history. In this study of American revisionists, Riggenbach identifies three distinct phases within American revisionism.[8][9]
