From the Back Cover
When most of us take a backward glance at the 1920's, we may think of prohibition and the jazz age, of movie stars and flappers, of Harold Lloyd and Mary Pickford, of Lindbergh and Hoover--and of Black Friday, October 29, 1929, when the plunging stock market ushered in the great depression. Lynn Dumenil brings a fresh interpretation to a dramatic, important, and misunderstood decade.
