Description
An illuminating and dramatic biography of William Jennings Bryan that restores him to his place of importance in American history ? This is the first major biography of Bryan in almost forty years?and the first to draw on the countless letters Bryan received from his followers as well as on his speeches and the lively journalism of his time. The result is a clarifying portrait both of a seminal figure in the history of our national politics and religion and of the richly diverse and volatile political landscape in America during the early twentieth century.
