George W. Norris was one of the most powerful men in the U.S. Senate in the crucial years between Wilsons New Freedom and Roosevelts New Deal. Lowitts earlier volume, George W. Norris: The Making of a Progressive, 1861-1912, was highly praised by historians. In this volume, Lowitt examines Norriss influence on critical issues from the crisis leading to World War I, through the Versailles Peace Treaty, to the desperate flight of rural America through the 1920s and the depression.
