Description: |
From woman's suffrage to Babe Ruth's home runs, from Louis
Armstrong's jazz to Franklin Delano Roosevelt's four presidential
terms, from the finale of one world war to the dramatic close of
the second, War, Peace, and All That Jazz presents the story of
some of the most exciting years in U.S. history. With the end of
World War I, many Americans decided to live it up, going to
movies, driving cars, and cheering baseball games a plenty. But
alongside this post-WWI spree was high unemployment, hard times
for farmers, ever-present racism, and, finally, the Depression,
the worst economic disaster in U.S. history, flip-flopping the
nation from prosperity to scarcity. Along came one of our
country's greatest leaders, F.D.R., who promised a New Deal, gave
Americans hope, and then saw them through the horrors and
victories of World War II. These three decades--full of optimism
and despair, progress and Depression, and, of course, War, Peace,
and All That Jazz--forever changed the United States.
