Rendezvous with Destiny: A History of Modern American Reform
A remarkably flavorful history...straight from the teeming sources. (Christian Science Monitor)A continuous narrative...the author stops the action occasionally to insert brilliant sketches of the leading actors...and illuminates his story with anecdotes. He has wit and erudition. (The New Yorker)One of the most learned, one of the most enlightened, and one of the best-written historical works in a long time. (The New York Times)
