Specifications
In the summer of 1927, America experienced a stock market boom, a president who worked just four hours a day (and slept the rest), a devastating Mississippi flood, a sensational murder trial, and an unknown aviator, Charles Lindbergh, who became the most famous person in the world. It was the summer that saw the birth of talking movies, the invention of television, the peak of Al Capone's reign, the horrific school bombing in Michigan, and the improbable comeback of baseball player Babe Ruth. In this highly entertaining book, Bill Bryson narrates a story of adventure, reckless optimism, and manic energy. With his characteristic liveliness, humor, and authority, he brings to life a forgotten summer when America came of age, stepped onto the center stage, and changed the world.
