Title: A Stunning Disappointment
Product review: Savage Peace, Hope & Fear In America, 1919, Ann Hegedorn; Simon & Schuster, Inc. (2007)I am sorry to say that Anne Hagedorn has taken a monster step both backwards & in the wrong direction with her history of 1919, "Savage Peace" (2007).Her almost perfect Wild Ride (1994) has been succeeded by a juvenile, strident, & partisan manner of thinking & writing that has left me quite amazed, & somewhat sorry that she has forgotten the way in which to write maturely & persuasively. It is almost as if SP had been written a decade before WR - not thirteen years later.I made it to p. 116. More appropriately, this should have been done on Armistice Day; Savage Peace - a testament as to how NOT to write ANYTHING - was pulped fourteen days later, on November 25, 2009.
