1977 examination of America and American youth in the 1920’s. “… it is about a fascinating period in American history. It explains it far more profoundly than we are accustomed to having it done. For another thing, it is satisfying as an intellectual exercise. And most pertinently the book is deeply relevant to contemporary American culture. Anyone who has attended college in the decades succeeding the 20s will recognize with a strong sense of immediacy, and perhaps even nostalgia, the cultural phenomena professor Fass describes.”
