The Big Change
How America transformed itself between 1900 and 1950, told by a historian who lived through it.
Frederick Lewis Allen’s 1952 history of how American life changed between 1900 and 1950. He follows the rise of the automobile, mass production, the income tax and a broad middle class, and shows how the country moved from a world of great fortunes and hard poverty toward shared prosperity. This edition carries a new introduction by William O’Neill.
