O.K., I realize I show 5-7 books as current reading, but let's be honest with ourselves: Everyone has a read-aloud book, a book of poetry, an office book, and family room book, a bathroom book and a bedtime book or two going simultaneously. Right? Anyhoo, this is our lunch reading book, but only when we are in town and not rushed. So it may take us the first 14 years of the 21st century to read about the the first 14 years of the 20th century. Interesting, and we find out all sorts of thing...more
Lord was such a compelling story-teller...he is certainly missed!!!...an excellent examination of the last years of the "Gilded Age" clashing with the forces of "Progressivism"...I have Goldberg's Liberal Fascism on my to read list and will soon work that into these lessons concerning the birth of the ideal that has the federal government dictating our lives and livelihoods
Great book taking the period of time between 1900 and 1914 year by year, picking important events such as the Boxer Rebellion, the first flight by Orville and Wilbur Wright, the Panic of 1907, etc. and examining not only that event but how other events influenced and were in turn influenced by the main focus. Highly recommend.
