"I've always been attracted to books which challenge the received truths taught in the public schools I attended. We've all the tendency to view the past in terms of the present, be it our personal or social histories. Becker particularly challenges, albeit indirectly, many of the myths held dear by Americans about our founders and their beliefs."
"One of my favorite books, largely because the author writes so gracefully; it is an insteresting analysis, though very much a product of the 1st half of the 20th century. Still, it is a joy to read."
