Few decades capture the imagination like the 1920s. Like so many good stories, it got its start from a time of great turmoil and ended in a dramatic fashion. What happened between 1920 and 1929 has passed beyond history and has become legend.

The lessons of the 1920s are still relevant today. Many of the debates and issues of the era are still part of the national conversation. Economic policies, consumer behaviors and mass culture of the 1920s are reflected in our culture almost 100 years later.

By understanding the past, we can better prepare for the future, and this new Captivating History audiobook is all about giving you that knowledge.

• World War One and the 1920s

Anything Goes is a Terrific History of the 1920s.

For anyone interested in the history of the Roaring Twenties, the author Goes is a treat. The writing team illuminates the important facts from the decade with a fresh perspective and fresh information. Their research is filled with amazing facts generally not reported and her writing style is accessible and illuminating. This book was a treat!

Research filled with amazing facts.

Really good book and the style of writing is exceptional. Easy read for historians and rigs looking for a book on the 20s that attempts to cover everything.

A Bravo effort.

As a final point! This is somewhat a Bibliography! I've lamented the lack of one of these in every installment in this series. Now we finally get one -- it's not long, but it's robust enough to equip someone to start looking into the topic in more depth on their own.

Readers are in for a treat.

The audible was fairly clean, too, with few profanities and on-the-page violence. The author really captured the flavor of the times. I'd highly recommend this for someone who enjoys secular suspense and mystery. This book has already won an award.

Look back into the history of 20's.

I'm still absorbing this information. Since this was before my time, even though I'm a senior citizen, there is much to learn and understand about this time period in America. It's a wonder we survived it!

A blend of tales for seekers.

It helps explain which events impacted long term changes in society and culture in the US. If you're a scholar and looking for some heavier reading, this isn't for you, but if you're just someone who wants to get a better understanding of just how transformation the era was, this will do the trick.

Look at the decade of excess.

The Roaring Twenties are frequently considered one of the more exciting periods of American history -- it's right there in the name after all. The cultural, economic and political changes that characterize this decade are the fodder for all sorts of reflection and analysis

This is excellent, very enjoyable.

I enthusiastically recommend Captivating History's Anything Goes: The Roaring Twenties, a captivating guide to a period of dramatic social and political change, a false sense of prosperity, and Its impact on the great depression. To take advantage of listening to the book as a doorway into the twenties, I recommend going online to YouTube and watching the many videos of events, people, music, film and much more that is readily available.

Good synopsis of the era.

Touched all the topics of the era for a listener that may want to go into depth on specific matters of the time.

A Really Good Summary of America in The 1920s

This is a really good summary. As an audiobook it is somewhere in the area of two hours in length. Personally I found it just long enough to have an adequate amount of detail, but not so long as to be a great commitment of time and effort, a good compromise.

The book is not overly complex and detailed. It can be read, and or listened to, and understood, by an average reader such as myself. Thank You...
