Items related to New World Coming
The images of the 1920s have been indelibly imprinted on the American imagination-from jazz, bootleggers, flappers, talkies, the Model T Ford, Babe Ruth, and Charles Lindbergh to the fight for women's right to vote, racial injustice, and the birth of organized crime.Nathan Miller has penned the ultimate introduction to the era. Publishers Weekly calls it "an excellent chronicle of that turbulent, troubled, and tempestuous decade," and Jonathan Yardley's Washington Post review proclaimed this the new classic history of the 1920s, replacing Frederick Lewis Allen's celebrated account.Using the life of F. Scott Fitzgerald as a backdrop, Miller describes the world of Calvin Coolidge, H. L. Mencken, Woodrow Wilson, and the Red Scare in extraordinarily accessible (and frequently witty) writing, New World Coming is destined to become the book we all turn to to recall one of the most beloved eras in American history.

About the Author:
Nathan Miller is an award-winning journalist and the author of twelve works of history and biography, including Broadside: The Age of Fighting Sail, 1775-1815, FDR: An Intimate History, and War at Sea. He lives in Washington, D.C.
From AudioFile:
Miller succeeds in showing how the '20s laid the groundwork for the America later to come. This long work offers a lively narrative and the mellifluous voice of Lloyd James. Capturing the text with excellent pace and occasional vocal characterizations, James's reading is almost flawless. (There are a few mis-pronunciations.) Miller's text is interesting and broad-ranging, although his interpretations of the times are largely conventional. Politics gets the bulk of the treatment, but popular culture, economic history, and social life are also extensively examined.
