Great history of this era

I have read several books about the period(s) of American history covered in this book, and this is the best I’ve encountered. The level of detail is in a “just right” Goldilocks zone, placing vivid description of specific incidents alongside lucid explanations of political debates without giving so much detail that the overall narrative gets bogged down. If I were to recommend one book about the period of US History between Reconstruction and World War I, this would be it.
