socraticgadfly's review against another edition
3.0
I was torn between three and four stars, but one lie, either out of ignorance or more I suspect out of deliberation, and one doozy of an error that an English prof shouldn't have made, gets it three stars.
The lie? The claim that Woodrow Wilson was nothing other than a passive pawn to his Cabinet in the segregation of Washington. Wilson's racism is actually well known.
The error? Claiming Harding invented "normalcy." The word actually goes back before the Civil War.
There is a lot good about the history of the city, but errors like this will get you dinged.
