Description
A sweeping, yet measured, survey of America’s transformation from the end of the Civil War through the early twentieth century, this work offers listeners a clear map of the nation’s political, economic, and social currents. The author acknowledges the difficulty of staying impartial, promising a balanced view that presents multiple sides of each issue while grounding the narrative in the extensive scholarship of leading historians.
The early chapters trace Reconstruction and the Grant administration, then move into the foundations of a new industrial era, the rise of the wage earner, and evolving foreign policy. Throughout, the author weaves together the practical concerns of everyday citizens with the broader forces shaping the country—railroads, finance, and the shifting balance between government and industry. Listeners will come away with a solid grounding in the major debates that defined America’s post‑war decades, preparing them for informed participation in contemporary civic life.
