Summary: In this study of American religion, urban life, and commercial culture, Winston shows how the Salvation Army, a (self-styled "red-hot") militant Protestant mission, established a beachhead in the modern city. In a little more than a century, this ragtag missionary movement evolved into the nation's largest charitable fund-raiser.
