"Cabell Phillips takes the reader from the crash of the stock market to the crash of bombs and artillery in Poland. The New Deal was part of a social revolution, a recreation of the American experiment. In popular culture, too, the decade beginning with 1929 saw a new flowering in music, in radio, and in the movies - now equipped with sound tracks.".
"In baseball, America's pastime, the decade saw the exit of the mighty Babe and the coming of the great Di Maggio and Ted Williams; the Brown Bomber, Joe Louis, dominated boxing. More ominously, overseas, dictators and militarists were on the march across Europe and Asia. Soon, Americans would be drawn into the whirlwind.".
"Mr. Phillips's sources were the files of The New York Times and the leading periodicals of the day, histories, memoirs, diaries, and government reports. Together, text and photographs offer a total historical experience of a decade in the life of a nation shadowed by depression, heading toward war."--BOOK JACKET.
