The Broken Heart of America: St. Louis and the Violent History of the United States

Focused on st. Louis and the Violent History of the United States, The Broken Heart of America brings Walter Johnson's historical account to a complex and consequential subject. Its account follows central actors and turning points while showing how the story reflects questions in the connected fields of history and social science. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning.
