New World Coming: The 1920s and the Making of Modern America by Nathan Miller

5.0

Nathan Miller writes a lucid narrative of the 1920s, which by his estimation, lasted as a cultural epoch from about 1918 to 1933 (the end of World War I - the inauguration of Franklin Roosevelt). He draws the reader into small biographies of major figures during the decade, and traces the ebbs and flows of the 1920s through the like of F. Scott Fitzgerald whose fortunes waxed and waned along with the broader cultural, social, and economic forces at work in the nation.
