In the spring of 1977 Reggie Jackson should have been on top of the world. The best player of the Oakland A's dynasty, which won three straight World Series, he was the first big-money free agent, wooed and flattered by George Steinbrenner into coming to the New York Yankees, which hadn't won a World Series since 1962. But Reggie was about to learn, as he writes in this vivid and surprising memoir, that until his initial experience on the Yankees, "I didn't know what alone meant."

Candid, insightful and raw memoir

It was just kid when Reggie came to New York. Hearing his firsthand account of the events I saw unfolding on TV - as well as his confirming my own suspicions about many of the players as I grew older and wiser- was profoundly compelling.

To take a skeptical approach to American history is not to dabble in imaginative conspiracy theories; rather, it's to reframe your understanding of this great nation's past and actually strengthen your appreciation for what makes American history such a fascinating chapter in the larger story of Western civilization. And in this bold 24-lecture series, you can do just that.

Fascinating and engaging

Not an awkward metaphor to say this is a page turner. Each chapter revisits stages of American history and present it in a thought provoking and fascinating light without distorting facts.
I decided to check this out when I felt I had gone too far down the Game of Thrones rabbit hole and realized I was learning more about fictional Westeros than my own country. This was every bit as interesting, entertaining, and far more truly educational. It was a pleasure to experience.
