A powerful social history of America from the 1890s to the 1920s, Our Times is "one of the most valuable contemporary histories any nation has been fortunate enough to possess" (St. Louis Globe-Democrat).
I detest Dan Rather and his editorializing in the introduction and epilogue of this book, which in the original would rate 5-star rating. He ruins this edited edition (six volumes down to one) with his written words, and I suspicion, with his mindless incompetence at the task of editing.
I would recommend finding the full six volumes and reading them before taking on this book again.
