Reviews for Pivotal Decades
"A superb study, capturing the light and shade of the early twentieth century... The quiet unobtrusive scholarship provides a mature compelling view of the Progressive years. Cooper's flowing text presents an integrated and persuasively complex picture of the period... Masterfuly captures the ironies, subtleties, and characters."
