Opis

The newest volume in the Oxford History of the United States series, The Republic for Which It Stands argues that the Gilded Age, along with Reconstruction-its conflicts, rapid and disorienting change, hopes and fears-formed the template of American modernity.

Recenzje

<"White's great achievement is to capture the drabbest, least-redeeming three decades of American history with unimpeachable authority….[and] manages to imbue these ignoble years with the importance that they're due.>"-Publishers Weekly (starred review)
