Show Info

In a fast-paced narrative of soaring ideals and sordid politics, of civil war and foreign invasion, the award-winning historian Alan Taylor presents a pivotal twenty-year period in which North America’s three largest countries―the United States, Mexico, and Canada―all transformed themselves into nations. This is a rollicking story of liberal ideals, political venality, and corporate corruption marked the dawn of the Gilded Age in North America.
