Review title: Very useful for raising the issue of "heroification"
Product review: I have not read the whole book, but two years ago I did browse a large portion of the very generous sampling available here on Amazon. My encounter with the book had its main effect in forcing me to the realization that I had committed at least "second degree heroification" in the writing and publishing of my book, "Carrie Chapman Catt: A Life of Leadership". At the time of browsing LMTTM, I was planning a lecture on the woman suffrage movement. Instead of using my previous lecture topic, I was inspired by Mr. Loewen's book to imagine an anti-heroic take on my subject, leading to quite a successful presentation entitled, "What Fox News would have said about Carrie Chapman Catt". (E.g., "Catt threw Elizabeth Cady Stanton under the bus".) Thank you, Mr. Loewen!Carrie Chapman Catt: A Life of LeadershipI just ordered my copy today of LMTTM.
