Review quote
“Thom Hartmann is America's history teacher, a national treasure laying it out scary and clear: tyranny can happen here.”
-Mimi Kennedy, actress and Board Member, Progressive Democrats of America
“Hartmann knows how to communicate importance to everyone, regardless of their self-described political persuasions. Because he is by far the most erudite longtime national radio talk show host, he has had an uncanny sense of retrieving critical segments of American history ignored by historians.”
-Ralph Nader
“[Hartmann's] Hidden History series of books fills the gaps in American history textbooks, showing the dark side of American healthcare, law, policing, and more.”
