Men of Destiny

by Walter Lippmann, Rollin Kirby (Illustrator), Richard Lowitt (Introduction)

All who are interested in the America of the 1920's will welcome the opportunity to read this collection of contemporary articles on the politics and prominent men of that era. Political philosopher, public servant, author, and editor, Walter Lippmann viewed current problems and long range issues of his time with understanding and without partisanship. These breif and incisive essays provide an excellent introduction for the modern reader to the important political and social issues of this much misunderstood period in our history. The eighteen articles deal with political and some literary figures, such as Al Smith, Calvin Coolidge, William Jennings Bryan, and H. L. Menken; and with such issues as political indifference, minority rights, censorship, and nationalism in Latin America. - from book's back cover
