book: Life and Deeds of Uncle Sam | Oscar Ameringer     books:     Life and Deeds of ...   Life and Deeds of Uncle Sam Oscar Ameringer Charles H. Kerr Publishers Company, 1985 - 64 pages average customer review:based on 1 review view larger image  for more information click here A rip-roaring radical romp through American history, from the man known as the Mark Twain Of American Socialism. Ameringer, socialist organizer, editor, pamphleteer and public speaker, was remarkable forerunner of what would today be called a stand-up comedian. In this, his most famous work (originally published in 1909, selling half a million copies by 1914!), the ?official? history of the text-books is hilariously laid bare; the author?s satirical barbs aimed at the exploiters? ideology bristle on every page. An outstanding classic of American labor historiography and humor. With an introduction from Paul Buhle.  for more information click here Excellent Book I ran into this book at a garage sale. It is an excellent, funny, fast read that totally changed my perspective on US history. So much so that I went back to my high school history teacher and gave her my copy. It's great for high school kids taking US history because it packs a lot of info/analysis into very few pages and it's funny. search for books life and deeds, deeds, life, sam, uncle      toavi.com    web randomly chosen book: Exit Music (Inspector Rebus)
