America Unabridged: The Readers Respond

March 2024
1min read


I’m sorry Kevin Baker overlooked Oscar Handlin’s The Uprooted in his collection of great books on the subject of immigration. This easy-to-read book not only turned me on to our history but gave me a new respect for my parents, who came to this country in the 192Os. And it seems to do the same to everyone else who takes my advice to read it.

We hope you enjoy our work.
