Reviews
"Large-scale economic change, job uncertainty, the politics of extremism and paranoia, arguments over America's international role, racial conflicts. Sound familiar?" (Fritz Lanham, Houston Chronicle) "Beautifully written and wonderfully absorbing, The Reckless Decade is the most accessible survey history of America's turbulent 1890s ever composed." - Douglas Brinkley "Brands injects a needed dose of reality into the sunnier images of the era of Lillian Russell and Diamond Jim Brady." - Jules Wagman. The Plain Dealer "A first-rate overview of an age that, Brands correctly believes, has specific meaning for our own....[1]n The Reckless Decade the story, not the storyteller, is at the center, which is as it should be. Brands knows how to write narrative and how to make the complex comprehensible." - Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post Book World
