Críticas
"A terrific job capturing Rothstein's colorful career [shedding] new light on Rothstein's role in fixing the World Series." "Pietrusza's material puts real flesh on the story of how the new machinery of mass entertainment--the yellow press, movies, radio, the recording industry--created and brought together the culture of celebrity, politics, big-time sports, stock market fortunes and organized crime in the 1920s."
Reseña del editor
The presidential election of 1920 was one of the most dramatic ever. For the only time in the nation's history, six once-and-future presidents hoped to end up in the White House: Woodrow Wilson, Warren G. Harding, Calvin Coolidge, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Herbert Hoover, and Theodore Roosevelt. It was an election that saw unprecedented levels of publicity the Republicans outspent the Democrats by 4 to 1 and it was the first to garner extensive newspaper and newsreel coverage. It was also the first election in which women could vote. Meanwhile, the 1920 census showed that America had become an urban nation automobiles, mass production, chain stores, and easy credit were transforming the economy and America was limbering up for the most spectacular decade of its history, the roaring '20s. Award-winning historian David Pietrusza's riveting new work presents a dazzling panorama of presidential personalities, ambitions, plots, and counterplots a picture of modern America at the crossroads.
