It would be to your advantage to have a copy as a featured reference in every north American's home library. After reading this 600+ page history I bought a copy for myself. This history is about those Americans who did not win and could not write and publish the history of the USA. Personally, I think this should be required reading in every Canadian school teaching a course in USA history. The truth will out and yes, sometimes it is very depressing to read!
