Twentieth-Century America : Politics and Power in the United States 1900-2000

In 1941 "Time" magazine publisher Henry Luce spoke of the 'American Century', anticipating that the values of the United States would spread around the world. "Twentieth-Century America" provides a comprehensive analysis of the changes and continuities in the US political system from 1900 to 2000, a period of unprecedented growth and power in US history, though one that was also punctuated by crises and division.
