Battles for Freedom: The use and abuse of American history by Eric Foner is a collection of his essays from The Nation. I enjoyed his essays which are a stand out in the publication.

Review:
In many ways and on many issues, I agree with Eric Foner. Several of these essays are very dated. Some were prescient. His writing style is fairly smooth and the message is so familiar, it is easy to anticipate the following sentence while still finishing the leading sentence. I did not particularly enjoy the book, although I did find some of the writing funny (it was intentionally humorous).
