Free of smelly humidity stains and the smell of a smoker. Between 1880 and 1939 the two great forces of the western world collided. This book is the story of that social upheaval. It's the tale of how the United States sold its heiresses into ennobled slavery, found the table turned around the time of the First World War, ended up subjugating smart society to the Almighty Dollar in the 1930s. It about prejudice, fear, bitchiness, arrivistes, fine architecture, low life, ostentation, and sheer incomprehension. It is about the Old World's dread of the power of New America and the New World's longing for the historical status of the Old. Imaginative, well-researched, and entertaining.
