Age of Big Government: New Perspectives on New Deal and World War II
This essay connects two recently published books and points out their respective reappraisal of the
U.S. in the 1930s and during World War II. Kiran Patel puts New Deal America into a framework
of international comparisons and global perspectives while Mark Wilson puts forth a powerful new
narrative on the role of government during the war effort.
