"A surprisingly good overview of American history from World War I to the Great Depression, though broad, selective and very concise. Written in the fifties, it is still a valid and useful survey, even if it is in some ways amusingly of its own era."

The author claims in the book that historians have determined that Sacco and Venzetti were guilty after all, but this is not true (anymore?)"
