This is a definitive text on disability history in the United States, and an excellent starting point for anyone interested in the topic. In fact, I think it should really be required reading for anyone with a disability or anyone with a family member or friend who has one. This book taught me more than possibly any other book I've read in the last age has done. I can't recommend it highly enough.
