"Richard Rubin has done something that will never be possible for
anyone to do again. His interviews with the last American World War
I veterans--who have all since died--bring to vivid life a
cataclysm that changed our world forever but that remains curiously
forgotten here."--Adam Hochschild, author of "To End All Wars: A
Story of Loyalty and Rebellion, 1914-1918
Beginning with America's struggle to rebuild after the Civil War to a burst of growth that led to it becoming a superpower, this visually engaging and informative book gives the reader everything needed to know about American History from the Reconstruction to the end of the 20th Century. It follows the transformation of the United States from a relatively small, remote, and isolated outpost to the richest, most powerful, and most influential nation in the world. It also covers a period that produced some of the world's most unforgettable characters -- and some of America's proudest (and not so proud) moments. American History 101 is crammed with special features, including lists of who's who, biographical and little-known facts, and a host of photo's, cartoons, and vintage illustrations.
When Richard Rubin, fresh out of the Ivy League, accepts a job at a daily newspaper in the old Delta town of Greenwood, Mississippi, he is thrust into a place as different from his hometown of New York as any in the country. Yet to his surprise, he is warmly welcomed by the townspeople and soon finds his first great scoop in Handy Campbell, a poor, black teen and gifted high school quarterback who goes on to win a spot on Mississippi State's team -- a training ground for the NFL.
