Walter G. Moss is a Professor of History in the Department of History & Philosophy at Eastern Michigan University.
"An Age of Progress?' is a remarkable book. Readable yet scholarly, balanced yet challenging, expansive yet detailed, the book is a sort of model for the way 'big' history should be written. If you seek insight into the meaning of the twentieth century for the twenty first, you should read this book.' -Marshall Poe, 'New Books in History' 'Moss has adroitly compressed an enormous amount of information into a relatively brief study... Highly recommended.' -'Choice' 'Moss's insight is intriguing and powerful... A must read for anyone interested in international affairs and global cooperation.' -Eric R. Jackson, 'International Journal on World Peace'
