Description
Flappers and the Charleston. Prohibition and gangsters. Lindbergh and the Dolly Sisters. Bessie Smith and Babe Ruth. F. Scott Fitzgerald said of the 20s "The pace was faster, the shows were broader, the buildings were higher, the morals were looser, and the liquor was cheaper." The trauma of the first World War had passed, there was a new face in the White House, Prohibition was in effect, and at night clubs and speakeasies across the land, a new sound was heard: jazz. Combed the archives of Time and Life magazines, as well as antique stores, libraries, and historical societies to create The Jass Age: The 20s It will take you back to a time when the nation seemed to stand on the verge of a bracing new age. This book brings it all to life with over 300 pictures and countless quotations. - from Amzon
