The Promise Of American Life

By Herbert Croly
Other Michael McGerr
Northeastern University Press
One of the most important books to emerge from the Progressive era, The Promise of American Life offered a blueprint for a modern activist government that had enormous impact on intellectuals coming of age before World War I.

Reviews

"Along with Tocqueville's Democracy in America, Croly's study is necessary reading for an understanding of political growth in the United States." —Trenton Times
