Title: An Assimilationist's View of History
Review: This is a tendentious little book that clings to a melting-pot notion of American history. While there is some truth to this history, Miller certainly overstates his claims. The fact is that large numbers of immigrants to this country resisted assimilation and many returned to their home countries to avoid the oppression and persecution they found in the U.S.Miller's writing is much akin to Arthur Schlesinger Jr.'s "The Disuniting of America." It is persuasive, but shallow.
