America, 1908: The Dawn of Flight, the Race to the Pole, the Invention of the Model T, and the Making of a Modern Nation   Jim Rasenberger
Well-written, engaging history of the year in United States history. Unfortunately, the subjects are more what would be considered for sensationalist journalism than social history, such as the sordid Shaw murder trial, the around-the-world auto race. But the other points of focus were highly relevant to where the U.S. was then and how it would develop throughout the 20^th Century. Pretty good.
