In summer 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
over-the-hill baseball player Babe Ruth, and an almost impossible
amount more. In this hugely entertaining book, Bill Bryson spins a
tale of brawling adventure, reckless optimism and delirious energy.
With the trademark brio, wit and authority that make 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.
