Overrated/Underrated: 100 Experts Topple the Icons and Champion the Slighted! Paperback - 2001
by Editors of American Heritage Magazine (Editor)
One hundred of America's favorite writers reevaluate the overpraised and applaud the unappreciated in this fun and hard to put down collection of highly opinionated essays. 200 illustrations.
First line
"If anything can go wrong, it will" was well known in the fifties and sixties, when it passed for just another bit of clever bulletin-board wisdom.
From the rear cover
Is Robert E. Lee getting a free ride? Is Donna Reed the unsung sex symbol of her era? Is it high time someone spoke up for the humble peanut butter and jelly sandwich? And does anyone have the lonely courage to finally call Moby Dick a great crashing bore? There are inflated reputations in every field of American history - and neglected ones, too. In 100 inspired, irreverent, illuminating essays, experts from every field give the overpraised their comeuppance and rescue the unappreciated from obscurity.
Who's Up? Who's Down? What's In? What's Out?
