Washington DC and The American Century Mark N Ozer

Washington DC and the American Century continues Mark N. Ozer's perusal of the history and development of the Nation's Capital. This volume examines how the capital was affected-and reflected-the role of the United States as the leading world power of the 20th century. It speaks about how it became a capital city that strove to represent "the spirit of a constitutional republic and the epitome of enlightened capitalism." As in his other books, readers will find Ozer's latest offering to be marked by "a keen ability to relate politics, architecture, and urban development together in concise, pithy, and insightful discussions."
