Let’s discuss: "One Summer: America, 1927" by Bill Bryson

We’re heading back to the most action-packed summer in American history — 1927, when Charles Lindbergh became the most famous man alive, Babe Ruth hit more home runs than entire teams, Al Capone ruled Chicago, and the president quietly took a nap.

Bill Bryson’s “One Summer: America,1927” captures a magical summer when mass media exploded, celebrities first became gods, and our country started looking a whole lot like the fast, flashy nation we know today.

If you like your history with a side of sass, this one’s for you.
