Review

"The best description of America I've ever seen. Like Americans and their history, Moser's writing is both brief and deep, sharp though blunt, and clear-sighted while still being starry- (and stripey-) eyed." --P. J. O'Rourke

"A witty look at U.S. history." --"Publishers Weekly, " about "The Politically Correct Guide to American History" by Edward P. Moser
