FORGOTTEN HEROES Inspiring American Portraits from Our Leading Historians

This collection of essays by such notable writers as Alfred Kazin, Arthur Schlesinger and Stephen Jay Gould would have been better served by a single reader. Instead, each of the fifteen portrayals is voiced by a different person. And when you're using a range of talent represented by the likes of Susan Anspach and Arte Johnson, you're not likely to get a consistent result. Some of the stories play like dry histories; others are more riveting. One experienced reader could have provided a balance of content to the whole project that it now, unfortunately, lacks.
