Remember when Tom reviewed Daniel Walker Howe's, What Hath God Wrought: The Transformation of America, 1815-1848?
One of the best American period histories I've ever read. Balances the organizational with the narrative and the macro analytical with the micro historical detail. I took the better parts of two days to read, I found it that good.
The Pulitzer committee thought the same thing.
Tom's using it in the history section of Great Powers.
