Summary: "This book is the recent history of the real America, the America in which we live and work as opposed to the 'American dream.' From 1860 to 1940--the span of one long lifetime--America has gone through unbelievable changes. An agricultural nation has become an industrial nation; big business has been discovered, deified, and found wanting; imperialism has been shunned with indignation, accepted with ill-disguised pleasure; labor has progressed from a romantic secret society into a militant realistic organization. The story of these changes--their why and how, their virtues and their evils--is one part of Mr. Huberman's book." --From the book jacket
