Mitford's funny and unforgiving book is the best memento mori we are likely to get. It should be updated and reissued each decade for our spiritual health.-- The New York Review of Books
Only the scathing wit and searching intelligence of Jessica Mitford could turn an exposé of the American funeral industry into a book that is at once deadly serious and side-splittingly funny. When first published in 1963 this landmark of investigative journalism became a runaway bestseller and resulted in legislation to protect grieving families from the unscrupulous sales practices of those in "the dismal trade."
Just before her death in 1996, Mitford thoroughly revised and updated her classic study. The American Way of Death Revisited confronts new trends, including the success of the profession's lobbyists in Washington, inflated cremation costs, the telemarketing of pay-in-advance graves, and the effects of monopolies in a death-care industry now dominated by multinational corporations. With its hard-nosed consumer activism and a satiric vision out of Evelyn Waugh's novel The Loved One , The American Way of Death Revisited will not fail to inform, delight, and disturb.
"Brilliant--hilarious--A must-read for anyone planning to throw a funeral in their lifetime."-- New York Post
"Witty and penetrating--it speaks the truth."-- The Washington Post

詹姆斯·洛温发现，美国课堂上使用的教科书都充斥着错误的信息和短视的见解。本书针对这一现象写作而成，它改变了我们与美国历史的关系。在书中，洛温详细剖析了美国现行的历史教科书，并对教科书中的谎言进行了细致入微的分析，展示了历史的生动性与复杂性。
他从前哥伦布时代着笔，涉猎重建、海伦·凯勒、第一个感恩节、梅莱大屠杀等多种人物与事件，对现有的教科书提出了令人大开眼界的批评，对美国历史进行了令人着迷的重述，指出了美国历史应该如何以及能够如何向美国学生讲授。他指出爱国主义是谎言的主要温床，为了宣扬爱国主义，美国中学历史教科书不惜“肢解”历史，英雄化历史人物，如哥伦布、杰斐逊、帕特里克·亨利、海伦·凯勒、威尔逊、林肯，等等。洛温痛心地指出，爱国主义无助于培养学生的独立思考能力。
