Restless Giant on Slate.com’s Best Books of 2005 list

Slate.com picked Restless Giant by James Patterson for its Best Books of 2005 list today. David Greenberg, who writes Slate’s “History Lesson” column, made the pick – and plugged Patterson’s previous “tour de force” book, Grand Expectations along the way. Of note: Restless Giant seems to be the only history title to make the cut.

Greenberg says that Restless Giant is

“a quietly persuasive defense of the “right revolution” that [Patterson] argues has been central to American politics and society in recent times.”
