Reviews

In search of a book that captures the essence of American history One that will appeal to undergraduates exhausted by dry-as-dust texts One that will inform foreigners seeking a good introduction to this country's history One that the intelligent lay person will enjoy This is the book.

And I have recommended it to general readers without disappointing a one. There is good reason that The Free and the Unfree appears in its third edition.
