While the early chapters will be of interest mostly to students of North Carolina politics, the bulk of the book should be fascinating to the general reader. In Craig’s hands, the story of a very complex man living in the tumult of war and depression becomes a clear and intriguing page-turner. Daniels’ life and contradictions are the subject of a superb new biography, “Josephus Daniels: His Life & Times,” by Lee A. Craig, an economics professor at N.C. State University. Craig’s work follows a biography of Daniels written by Joseph Morrison in 1966. Craig’s effort is the one that will stand as the definitive account of Daniels’ life
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. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
