Editorial Reviews

Review

“In his fresh story of these great events, great men, and great arguments, told from the records themselves with an effectiveness which no one has matched in comparable space, Carl Van Doren . . . has made both the actors and the issues come alive. To become acquainted with them is a political education now, and one which no American should miss.”–New York Times
