Description

As a longtime leader of the Democratic Party and key member of Woodrow Wilson’s cabinet, Josephus Daniels was once one of the vital influential progressive politicians within the country, and as secretary of the navy all through the First World War, he become one of the vital essential men on the earth. Before that, Daniels revolutionized the newspaper industry within the South, ceaselessly 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 upward push 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 while he led North Carolina’s white supremacy movement. Craig pulls no punches in his definitive biography of this political powerhouse.
