Richard Lowitt

4.9/5 (31162 ratings)

Description:George W. Norris was one of the most powerful men in the U.S. Senate in the crucial years between Wilson's New Freedom and Roosevelt's New Deal. Lowitt's earlier volume, George W. Norris: The Making of a Progressive, 1861-1912, was highly praised by historians and the present work has been eagerly awaited: "All who are concerned with the twentieth century political history of the United States will look forward with great interest in its publication." -- The American Historical Review.In this volume, Lowitt examines Norris's influence on critical issues from the crisis leading to World War I, through the Versailles Peace Treaty, to the desperate plight of rural America through the 1920s and the depression. Lowitt reveals what one senator can do without a solid party base or a political organization of his own. After the death of Robert M. La Follette in 1925 Norris became the leading progressive in the Senate. As Republican senator from Nebraska he battled for government ownership and operation of the facilities at Muscle Shoals, campaigned for a Democrat in a Pennsylvania election, opposed Republican nominees for the federal bench, the cabinet, and commissions, supported both Alfred E. Smith and FDR, and argued cogently that he was a better Republican than Herbert Hoover.As a whole. the volume is a careful analysis of major currents in American history from the viewpoint of a senator interested both in traditional progressive reforms and economic reforms that included government ownership and operation of public utilities throughout the 1912-1932 period.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
