No one will agree with all of Professor Degler's pronouncements, but few will be able to deny the smooth flow and pace of his narrative, his agreeable literary style, his industry, and his ability to insist on the unique quality of the American experience." —Pennsylvania History
"One of the most stimulating and provocative studies of the social and intellectual history of the United States since the publication of Arthur M. Sehleslinger's New Viewpoints in American History."
