American conservatives (myself included) generally dislike the book, for its incorrect account of the motives behind the American Revolution. But interestingly, many old-school economic leftists also disagree with it, as by incorrectly chalking up every historical injustice to "white supremacy", it obscures the economic forces that were the real driving factors. Some of the best rebuttals were published by the World Socialist Web Site, which is Trotskyist.
