The usual (and expected?) biases of an historian who writes on broad topics such as eras are to found in what they select to include or omit. The errors Gerstle makes are rather more egregious, reminiscent of those who begin with an ideology and write a narrative to support it.

Wow, that one's really a doozy. Incredible.

I look forward to reading your eventual review of the book!
Has Gerstle responded?
I have received no response from the author or the publisher (I emailed the editor at Oxford UP with this post but he has not replied as of yet).
Nice work, Tim!
