The perils of prosperity, 1914-32 (The Chicago history of American civilization)

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Beginning with Woodrow Wilson and U.S. entry into World War
I and closing with the Great Depression, The Perils of
Prosperity traces the transformation of America from an
agrarian, moralistic, isolationist nation into a liberal,
industrialized power involved in foreign affairs in spite of
itself.

William E. Leuchtenburg's lively yet balanced account of this
hotly debated era in American history has been a standard
text for many years. This substantial revision gives greater
weight to the roles of women and minorities in the great
changes of the era and adds new insights into literature, the
arts, and technology in daily life. He has also updated the
lists of important dates and resources for further reading.

This book gives us a rare opportunity to enjoy
the matured interpretation of an American Historian who has
returned to the story and seen how recent decades have added
meaning and vividness to this epoch of our
history.--Daniel J. Boorstin, from the Preface
