Lincoln Steffens

3.7/5 ( ratings)

Here's the life & world of Lincoln Steffens--the Columbus of muckraking, the father of American investigative journalism & a pivotal figure in the history of grassroots radicalism. Justin Kaplan brings alive early 20th-century America--a nation in the throes of becoming a great industrial power, a land dominated by big business & beset by social struggle & political corruption. It was the era of Lenin & Sinclair Lewis, of Emma Goldman & Wm Randolph Hearst, Teddy Roosevelt & John Reed. It was a time of union busting, anarchism & Tammany Hall. Steffens--eternally curious, a worldwide celebrity & a man of magnetic charm--was part of all he saw: reformism; the progressive movement; organized labor; Greenwich Village's intellectual, sexual & artistic liberation; the women's suffrage movement; the Russian Revolution; WWI; the Great Depression.
