The article presents information on the book "The United States Since 1865," by Louis M. Hacker and Benjamin B. Kendrick. Any attempt to tell the story of the U.S. in all its controversial phases from 1865 to the present hour is apt to be highly provocative and superficial. It challenges the critical instinct even before the book is opened. "The United States Since 1865" needs no higher compliment than this, it meets the challenge. Here and there one may differ with an interpretation; occasionally one may have reason to question a statement of fact; but every page bears evidence of an intent scrupulously to write with detachment and fairness.
