As a longtime leader of the Democratic Party and key member of
Woodrow Wilson's cabinet, Josephus Daniels was one of the most
influential progressive politicians in the country, and as
secretary of the navy during the First World War, he became one of
the most important men in the world. Before that, Daniels
revolutionized the newspaper industry in the South, forever
changing the relationship between politics and the news media. Lee
A. Craig, an expert on economic history, delves into Daniels's
extensive archive to inform this nuanced and eminently readable
biography, following Daniels's rise to power in North Carolina and
chronicling his influence on twentieth-century politics. A man of
great contradictions, Daniels-an ardent prohibitionist, free
trader, and Free Silverite-made a fortune in private industry yet
served as a persistent critic of unregulated capitalism. He
championed progressive causes like the graded public school
movement and antitrust laws even as he led North Carolina's white
supremacy movement. Craig pulls no punches in his definitive
biography of this political powerhouse.
