Acclaimed historians Glenda Elizabeth Gilmore and Thomas J. Sugrue forge the panoramic and the personal into an authoritative narrative history of America in the twentieth century. They give us insightful accounts of the century's large events-war, prosperity and depression, astute leadership and arrogant power, and the rise and decline of a broad middle class-grounding the history in the stories of everyday Americans.
