Sorry, but I think our book, "A Patriot's History of the United States," is even better than PJ's book.
1) We are Americans, and "get" Americanism more than he does;
2) PJ is weakest on economics. If you look closely, he has multiple, mutually-exclusive explanations for the Great Depression.
3) HofAmPeeps only goes up to something like the early 1990s. Our paperback goes up to mid-2006!!!

Hi Larry;
I was just going to recommend your book - it is one of the most unbiased texts I've ever read.

Your book is very good, but I'm old fashioned, I see it not as a stand alone, but as a complement for Morison and Commager's The Growth of the American Republic and Bob Kelly's The Shaping of the American Past.

"...multiple, mutually-exclusive explanations for the Great Depression."
Incoherence never stopped a liberal academic - it won't even make most of them pause for breath!! :^)
p.s. Clearly we are all still suffering badly from what "Reaganomics" did to the US economy.
