Review # 1 was written on 2017-05-12 00:00:00 Cecil Sewell One can easily get immersed in the details, and thus the thrust of the book is sometimes lost, but the events described are a riot. Summers despises the corruption, but he obviously loves a good story and larger than life figures. He also correctly points out that politicians of this era were not yet bought by the corporations and many were actually leading the charge in regulation. Trouble is, he does not fully explain the very real limits of the political system. This is best if read with Building a New American State by Skowronek.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-04-30 00:00:00 Darren Becker If you have to write a book about politics, this should be what you write. Summers is a fantastic writer, infusing this history with energy, humor, and snark. The detailed following of individual political campaigns did get tedious, but overall an informative and entertaining read.
