It was interesting to read A People's History of the US. Definitely
a different point of view, but maybe half way through it became
apparent that he was always looking for ways that HE felt that the
masses got gypped, by his standard. That became tedious. I finished
the book, and I'm glad I read it, but I really disagreed with his
philosophy and outlook on life.

I read part of it. Decided, I didn't need an alternate history since Turtledove is far
better.

Speaking of historians, Doris Kearns Goodwin was on the Daily Show the other night. She
seemed like quite the partisan, something one wouldn't expect in a real historian.
