... to who really freed the enslaved people...
... and on to endless war abroad...
... how much do you know about the True History of the United States?
"An engaging warts-and-all history of the U.S. meant to better educate those who fight for it... a must read for nonhistorians seeking a firm grasp of accurate American history." —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Making an airtight case that those who wish to restrict speech will always present their reasons for doing so as a product of extraordinary times, Finan issues a stark warning against encroaching on the freedom of expression." —Publishers Weekly
Prejudential "belongs on the shelf next to the works of Howard Zinn and Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz. It should be required reading in every school." —CounterPunch
“A powerful and extremely timely look at the lives of refugees arriving in the United States from around the world, Diya Abdo’s American Refuge will be a major conversation starter.” —Indy Week
“A thoroughly argued case for reinforcing the wall between church and state. . . A stern warning that those who push for the intrusion of religion into public life do so at the peril of both.” —Kirkus Reviews
