The fascinating parallel narratives of three men who influenced the era between 1920 and 1950--Wright, Henry Ford and Franklin D. Roosevelt--are interwoven with provocative details about other lives, historic events and personal insights to demonstrate how Wright's ideas have shaped modern America. Describes how the architect's vision failed and succeeded and how Usonia was realized in expected and unexpected ways.
