"Steven Diner's welcome guide to the Progressive Era helps us understand why the decades between 1890 and 1920 are known as the 'watershed' of American history, and how its transformations formed the basis for changes in our own time."--Kathryn Kish Skylar, Distinguished Professor of History, State University of New York, Binghamton
"Succinct and fluid...[a] rewarding social history [that] is an excellent book for both experienced historians and novices."--"Library Journal"
"A harbinger of a better day for readers interested in American history...Diner writes as a scholar but not as one concerned only about reactions among other scholars. [This work may] indicate not only a closing of the long-standing gap between popular and scholarly historical writing, but also that which has existed in the United States since the 1970s between the historical profession and the public potentially interested in what historians might say."--Ernest R. May, "The Times Literary Supplement"
