What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Professor Hofstadter has written a superb book…The Age of Reform entitles Hofstadter to rank with C. Vann Woodward as a master of creative synthesis, as an interpreter of the past who can add to cold data an emphatic insight that transforms history from a book of the dead into a chronicle of life.” —American Political Science Review
