Work Description

This book recounts many real and a few fictional characters who were influencing the people and their actions in America from the 1920's to 1967. Fad "solutions" to problems of the times and larger than life celebrities who had tremendous influence on certain groups are featured in various chapters. This book is arranged by subjects that appeal to those who have a general interest in the details of the new or bizarre ideas and popular trends that were sweeping the American nation for brief periods from the early 1920's to the end of the 1967. The stories are illustrated with photographs and captions that give further details as well. A good read for those who are interested in the American society and it's reactions to fads, follies and delusions that came and went.
