I'm reading it now for my own, but I've got to teach a class on 20th century American history in the summer. I got some good advice from people here last year before the same class started, but I still don't feel entirely in control of the scope of the course.

Anyhow, I guess to reframe the above question: do you think undergraduates who aren't necessarily history majors but who are almost universally thoughtful and curious would profit from reading this book in a course?

I love teaching at this school, but I was initially hired to adjunct a class in my actual specialty (medieval church history). I keep taking jobs there because of my affection for the place, but the young women in this course are really good and even though last time went okay, I'd love to improve it.
