Join us for a discussion of the next selection of Historic Newton’s book club, American Colossus by H. W. Brands.

Thursday, Nov. 19, 7:30pm
Jackson Homestead & Museum, 527 Washington St., Newton

In his story of the economic transformation of American society after the Civil War, Brands provides a rounded and largely fair portrait of the capitalists and the world they made. As a New York Times review observed: “Brands, a terrific writer who commands his material, handles this sprawling, complicated story with authority and panache… as close as serious history gets to a page turner.”

The book club is free and new members are always welcome.
