Sinopsis

In the late 1800s, Charles Nordhoff forged the shape of modern journalism and profoundly influenced both politicians andápolitics. Principled, activist, investigative, and a champion of the disenfranchised and poor, he was more interested inácharacter and results than in personality and credit. And like the blacksmith wielding his hammer, he left us the tangibleáproducts of his labors, but few details of himself.With superb research, illuminating insights, and eloquent prose, Carol Frost brings Nordhoff vividly to life: both the man andáhis extraordinary impacts on politics, journalism, government, and public discourse&mdash,impacts that are still defining publicálife today.Journalists, historians, and activists will find context and inspiration in this captivating and previously untold story, a storyáthat in many important ways feels like it was written about the events and debates of our own time rather than those ofámore than 100 years ago.
