A professor of history and law at Ohio State, Dr. David Stebenne is also author of the academic books Arthur J. Goldberg: New Deal Liberal and Modern Republican: Arthur Larson and the Eisenhower Years. His new book, written for a more general audience, is Promised Land: How the Rise of the Middle Class Transformed America, 1929-1968, which Kirkus calls “a thoughtful look at a long-ago era when America seemed egalitarian and prosperous.” Stebenne recently discussed the work with WYPL.
