Only Yesterday: An Informal History of the 1920s - Frederick L. Allen

A style that is verve itself. -- New York Times A perfectly grand piece of historical record and synthetic journalism. -- Chicago Daily Tribune From Frederick Lewis Allen, former editor-in-chief of Harper's magazine, comes a classic history of 1920s America, from the end of World War I to the stock market crash and the beginning of The Great Depression. Originally published in 1931, Only Yesterday has an exuberance and proximity to its subject--the Roaring Twenties in all its scandal and glory--that uniquely captures the feel of the era.
