So said Professor Marc Egnal of York University, shocking the annual meeting of the Organization of American Historians. Here it is on C-SPAN (go to minute 37). Some audience members have a “waddya mean there’s no Santa Claus!” look on their faces. Others look as though they’ve just been force-fed lemons. Thanks to Phil Magness. Professor Egnal’s book sounds like a must-read.
