"The Twenties in America" offers the first balanced account of the history and politics of this much-maligned decade. Niall Palmer focuses on the governing styles and political philosophies of presidents Warren Harding and Calvin Coolidge.

Palmer argues that the pace of social and technological change created conflicts over race, religion, and poverty, and employment rights. Consequently, old solutions became increasingly irrelevant to the changing times.
