What is America in the Twenties : a History about?

The Twenties Are Both The Most Derided Decade In American History, And The Most Glamorous. In A Sense, The Twenties Were The First Decade Of The Twentieth Century, With The Great War Serving As The Death Agony Of The Nineteenth. That Is Why The Period Can Seem So Familiar To Us. More Surprising Is To Find Large Areas Of American Life Still In The Grip Of The Victorian/puritan/frontier Past. It Was The Struggle Between These Two Worlds That Gave Tension And Shape To This Hectic Era. All Across American Life There Was A Deep Break In Continuity, With The Sense Of Release That Liberation Brings, Along With All The Anxiety Occasioned By The Unknown. Here Is A Work Of Real And Enduring History About A Period Of Doubt And Crisis At Once Familiar And Distant. It Is Not Just An Anecdotal Account Of The Twenties--although It Reads With The Pace And Excitement Of The Best Fiction--but A Major Story Which Views The Decade As A Crucial Watershed In American Experience.^ Perrett Brings To Life The Crosscurrents Of Change And Innovation That Marked America's Transition From Innocence To Maturity: The Rise Of The Unions And Radicalism, The Changing Role Of Women, The Recognition Of Black America.
