Review of Studs Terkel: Listening to America

The fact is Terkel routinely simply made up his "oral history" work, and also often spun what people had told him in a way to invert their experience.

A good number of vignettes in Terkel's "The Good War" are portrayed as factual by Terkel but in fact have been found to be totally invented.

This "biography" is a puff piece.
