Sharon McMahon's The Small and the Mighty profiles twelve often-overlooked Americans who significantly impacted history, from the nation's founding to the Civil Rights era. The book's strength lies in its engaging storytelling and focus on underrepresented figures, enriching our understanding of the past. While its scope is limited to these twelve individuals, potentially oversimplifying some events, the overall effect is inspiring and thought-provoking. The accessible writing style makes it suitable for a broad audience, encouraging readers to reconsider traditional narratives of heroism. It's highly recommended for those seeking a more inclusive perspective on American history.
