Trade Review
"An indispensable record of the discipline and practice of history in the United States. By uncovering a vast range of early initiatives that historians undertook to deal with issues that included the very practice of scholarship, the appropriateness of utilizing new mass media opportunities, state funding and support, political ideology, and 'the objectivity question,' Ian Tyrrell has created a useful new history from which historians can think and act more creatively in the present." - David Thelen, Indiana University"
