How the South Won the Civil War by Heather Cox Richardson (2020) 240pp
A grand overview of United states history with a focus on the myriad transgressions the wealthy have wreaked on the majority of citizens. It's a rare feat to cogently explain how the actions of the moneyed interests have distorted democracy to their benefit. This work doesn't bog down in detail, but piques the interest of the reader to go deeper. Accessible and well written (avoiding the constant polemic drum-beat of obvious and well-trod ground) this historical summary stands as a marker as the leadership of government changes once again. Read it and wonder, "where is the outrage?"
