NATIONAL BESTSELLER * "Brenda Wineapple's wonderful account of the Scopes trial sheds light not only on the battles of the past but on the struggles of the present."--Jon Meacham "History at its most delicious."--The New York Times Book Review (front page review, Editors' Choice) The dramatic story of the 1925 Scopes trial, which captivated the nation and exposed profound divisions in America that still resonate today--divisions over the meaning of freedom, religion, education, censorship, and civil liberties in a democracy "Propulsive . . . a terrific story about a pivotal moment in our history."--Ken Burns ONE OF THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE'S TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR * A NEW YORKER BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR "No subject possesses the minds of men like religious bigotry and hate, and these fires are being lighted today in America."
