Editorial Reviews

Review

"With one stroke [this book] turned around a whole field of interpretation and exposed the frailty of history done without science."
― New York Times Book Review

From the Back Cover

Time on the Cross is at once a jarring attack on the methods and conclusions of traditional scholarship and a lucid, highly readable analysis of the special American problem - black slavery.
