In the summer of 1927, America had a booming stock market, a
president who worked just four hours a day (and slept much of the
rest), a devastating flood of the Mississippi, a sensational murder
trial, and an unknown aviator named Charles Lindbergh who became
the most famous man on earth. It was the summer that saw the birth
of talking pictures, the invention of television, the peak of Al
Capone's reign of terror, the horrifying bombing of a school in
Michigan, the thrillingly improbable return to greatness of an
over-the-hill baseball player named Babe Ruth, and an almost
impossible amount more. In this hugely entertaining book, Bill
Bryson spins a story of brawling adventure, reckless optimism and
delirious energy. With the trademark brio, wit and authority that
has made him Britain's favourite writer of narrative non-fiction,
he brings to life a forgotten summer when America came of age, took
centre stage, and changed the world for ever.
