This author of LaGuardia inCongress was accused of trying to "poison the well of academe" by John Silber, the president ofBoston University, with whom this man exchanged attempts at removal votes. This man providedannotations and edits to the Pentagon Papers for publication, and he engaged in a wrestling matchover a microphone with John Fairbanks during a tumultuous meeting of the American (*) HistoricalAssociation, where he proposed a historians' resolution against the Vietnam War. A book by this man wasreviewed as "lavishing indiscriminate condemnation upon all the works of man" by liberal historian OscarHandlin and finished just behind a Christian supremacist tome by David Barton in a 2012 historians' pollfor the worst historical book in print. For 10 points, name this man who begins with a section on"Columbus to the Robber Barons" and goes on to laud the role of socialist movements in the twentiethcentury in his popular book A People's History of the United States.
