Review:
"Jeremy Brecher's work is astonishing and refreshing and, God knows, necessary. . . An exciting primer, enabling 'ordinary' people, non-academics, to recover their own personal and community's past . . . In this work lies the way to help cure our national amnesia." --Studs Terkel
"Clearly written and tastefully designed . . . Professional historians . . . will find the guide's historiographic advice perfectly sound." --New York History
"A very useful manual . . . Brecher's chapter on interviewing is exemplary for its simple style and nontechnical approach, yet thoroughness in addressing important issues of procedure and substance." --Oral History Review
