Anything Goes
Bracketed by the catastrophes of the Great War and the Wall Street Crash, the Roaring Twenties was an era marked by drama, high jinks and wild abandon. Charles Lindbergh shrank the world by flying across the Atlantic, Al Capone bootlegged his way to a fortune and America began its love affair with celebrity culture.
In Anything Goes, bestselling historian Lucy Moore explores this colorful era. We see how jazz was king, how flappers flouted convention and how speakeasies flourished in defiance of Prohibition…and that’s just the beginning. Also touching on the Scopes Trial, the birth of Hollywood, the rise of skyscrapers and more, this is a fascinating read—one that’s as spirited, colorful and exhilarating as the decade itself.
