Focusing on a transformative seminar on American radicalism at Princeton from 1966 to 1970, this book delves into historian Martin Duberman's innovative teaching methods. Through interviews and archival research, it provides insights into the process of historical evidence gathering and interpretation. The narrative not only illuminates the challenges of the late 1960s in academia but also serves as a valuable resource for educators, encouraging them to rethink history teaching and equipping students with critical reasoning skills through historical sources.

This book examines four types of shortcuts in the history of American education-streamlined paths to vocational success, cultural sophistication, college credentials, and the efficient use of English.
