Summary:
John Pettegrew examines theoretical writings and cultural traditions in the United States to find that masculine aggression can be interpreted as a modern strategy for taking power. A major re-synthesis of late nineteenth and early twentieth century manhood, Brutes in Suits develops ambitious lines of research into the social science of sexual difference and professional history's celebration of rugged individualism.
