By H.W. Brands

The Gilded Age was a time of great economic growth and social change in the United States. It was a time of robber barons and social reformers, of great wealth and great poverty. It was a time of both progress and turmoil.

In Dispatches from the Gilded Age, H.W. Brands takes us on a journey through this fascinating period in American history. He introduces us to the era's most iconic figures, from robber barons like Jay Gould and John D. Rockefeller to social reformers like Jane Addams and Ida B. Wells. He shows us the great changes that took place during this time, from the rise of industrialization to the growth of the labor movement.

Brands writes with his trademark wit and insight, offering a fresh perspective on this pivotal period in American history. He shows us the Gilded Age as a time of both great promise and great peril, a time when the American dream seemed both within reach and out of reach.
