The Society of American Historians. "Two distinguished American historians have assembled a brilliant team to bring to vivid life those intense days that made a vital difference to the way we Americans have lived. Days of Destiny is a feast of information and insight for all who are fascinated by the jagged, turbulent course of American history." - Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. "There are moments in American history when something old ends and something new begins. These are the days of destiny. We asked some of the most respected (and best-selling) historians of our time to choose specific days on which American history turned. Their responses make up the month's worth of essays that are included in this volume. Some of the historians chose wars and battles, politics and presidents, others found their answers in less well-known areas of study: the Great Awakening of the 1740s, the Indian wars of the 1870s, the plight of working women at the turn of the twentieth century, the countercultural efflorescence of the late 1960s. In Days of Destiny: Crossroads in American History, the Society of American Historians brings you thirty-one engaging narratives, each illuminating with crisp prose and unparalleled scholarship an event that profoundly shaped the nation and world in which we live. From King Philip's 1675 parley with white colonial officials to the 1973 research conference at which the biotechnology revolution was announced, these vignettes will transport you to places and introduce you to people who have made a continuing difference in the history of America." - from the inner front jacket flap.…
