Indulge in the roaring twenties, September 5, 2006
This review is from: The Lawless Decade: A Pictorical History of a Great American Transition: From the World War I Armistice and Prohibition to Repeal and the New Deal (Hardcover)
An easy and breezy retrospective of the 1920's. Author Paul Sann gets to the point in every short vignette, and is not embarrassed by some of the risqué events he reports on. This book contains black and white photographs from an era that mostly has not been seen in public. They are all new to me, which was a joy to view. You get to see the faces of people you just heard of, and always wondered what they looked like. One wonders how the prohibition amendment got passed, considering how many people just disobeyed the law, and held in contempt everyone who supported it. It just proves what a small loudmouth minority can do in a social engineering experiment when they think god is on their side. A fun read. Do what The Lawless Decade did: Indulge.
