书籍简介

我们这个时代受尊敬的非虚构作家之一，重新讲述了他的祖国生活中一个真正精彩的一年的故事——一个引人入胜、扣人心弦的叙事，讲述了像查尔斯·林德伯格、贝比·鲁斯、是的，赫伯特·胡佛这样的重量级美国英雄，以及一群罪犯(阿尔·卡彭)、怪人(沉船凯利)和沉默寡言的政客(卡尔文·柯立奇)。这一年，美国人尝试并完成了巨大的事情，以一种巨大的、争吵的方式长大成人。这是一个国家。一个夏天。在这本畅销书中，作者为我们呈现了如此鲜活的故事。

One of the most admired nonfiction writers of our time retells the story of one truly fabulous year in the life of his native country - a fascinating and gripping narrative featuring such outsized American heroes as Charles Lindbergh, Babe Ruth, and yes Herbert Hoover, and a gallery of criminals (Al Capone), eccentrics (Shipwreck Kelly), and close-mouthed politicians (Calvin Coolidge). It was the year Americans attempted and accomplished outsized things and came of age in a big, brawling manner. What a country. What a summer. And what a writer to bring it all so vividly alive for us in this certain best-seller.
