Updated and expanded from the last edition with new information in many sections, "The Roaring Twenties, Revised Edition" offers new coverage of the social, political, and economic history of this decade, including developments in science, from astrophysics to laboratory science to discoveries and inventions; the creation of new professional sports leagues; the labor union movement; censorship, and writers, artists, and moviemakers are looked at in more depth. This volume captures the complexities of the 1920s and brings to life the various events that occurred during this tumultuous yet exhilarating decade.

New eyewitness testimonies to this edition include J. Edgar Hoover, Emma Goldman, Calvin Coolidge, William Randolph Hearst, Eugene O'Neill, William Faulkner, Walt Disney, Thomas Edison, John D.
