This book reminds me of Howard Zinn's People's History, which is good for what it is - labor/feminist/immigrant/civil rights history - but mostly avoids talking about the National Security State and conspiracies. It is a highly effective way to keep the Left on its reservation, so they spend their time worrying about voting rights (make sure everyone has the opportunity to vote for our puppet leaders!) or fighting to take down the Confederate flag or some other purely symbolic battle.
