Susan Berfield’s The Hour of Fate is a work of narrative nonfiction that examines a decisive moment in early 20th century American history, when Theodore Roosevelt and J.P. Morgan collided over the future of capitalism, corporate power, and public authority. Centered on the Northern Securities antitrust battle and the 1902 anthracite coal strike, the book shows how a new kind of federal intervention emerged out of conflict between big business, labor unrest, and a more assertive presidency. Berfield uses these events to explain how Progressive Era reforms began to take shape, including ideas about accountability, regulation, and the government’s role in balancing private wealth with public interest. The book is both a historical account and a political argument about why this period matters beyond its own time, especially for readers interested in inequality, plutocracy, labor rights, and the limits of concentrated economic power.
