Historian Howard Zinn shown that there are compelling, alternate histories that are both scholarly and valuable. Now, Thaddeus Russell provides a challenging new way of reading record that will change convention on its head and will elicit just as much controversy as it does support. Russell demonstrates drunkards, laggards, prostitutes, and pirates were the real heroes of the American Revolution. Slaves performed less and experienced more pleasurable than free men. Prostitutes, not feminists, triumphed in women's liberation. White people lost their tempo when they truly became good Us citizens. Without organized criminal offense, we might not need Hollywood, NEVADA, labor unions, legal liquor, birth control, or gay rights. Zoot-suiters and rock-and-rollers, not Ronald Reagan or the peace movement, helped bring down the Soviet Union. And Britney Spears will win the battle on terror. It was not the elitists who created real trend in the us nor the political radicals whom Zinn credits, but the people on the fringes of society who laid the foundation for change and were in charge of lots of the freedoms we enjoy today. American record was powered by clashes between those considering preserving cultural order and those more considering pursuing their own desires---the "reputable" versus the "degenerate", the moral versus the immoral, "good residents" versus the "bad". A lot more that "bad" people existed, resisted, and triumphed in, the higher was our common good. In A Renegade Record of the United Expresses, Russell presents us to the origins of your nation's personality as we've never known them before.
