Premise: The most malignly error-ridden study of the American people to appear since the Politburo went out of business (Robert Sam Anson, the London Times ). Even Newt Gingrich, who raves about the book in the Weekly Standard , says Johnson's account of events since the 1960s is too polemical.
Hypothesis: Newt Gingrich enjoys the books even though it's far from the truth.
