“A consistently engrossing, occasionally irreverent. Always smoothly written history of American’s painful entry into the modern age”.
Standing at Armageddon is a comprehensive and lively historical account of American’s shift from a rural and agrarian society to an urban and industrial one.
Throughout the book, painter shows a knack for recognizing such details, and she draws in recent scholarship in social history without letting its complexity mar the enthralling story she tells.
