The presidential election of 1920 was one of the most dramatic ever. For the only time in the nation's history, six once-and-future presidents hoped to end up in the White House: Woodrow Wilson, Warren G. Harding, Calvin Coolidge, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Herbert Hoover, and Theodore Roosevelt. It was an election that saw unprecedented levels of publicity -- the Republicans outspent the Democrats by 4 to 1 -- and it was the first to garner extensive newspaper and newsreel coverage. It was also the first election in which women could vote. Meanwhile, the 1920 census showed that America had become an urban nation -- automobiles, mass production, chain stores, and easy credit were transforming the economy and America was limbering up for the most spectacular decade of its history, the roaring '20s. Award-winning historian David Pietrusza's riveting new work presents a dazzling panorama of presidential personalities, ambitions, plots, and counterplots -- a picture of modern America at the crossroads.

Review

"broad, fluid brush strokes . . . a brisk narrative"

--The Wall Street Journal (rated one of the Top Five Books on Presidential Campaigns)
"David Pietrusza has a gift for making the past both real and dramatically gripping, and in 1920 he has an extraordinary cast of characters with which to work his magic. ... one helluva historical dinner party. An unforgettable group portrait of America on the brink of modernity."
--Richard Norton Smith

“David Pietrusza has a gift for making the past both real and dramatically gripping, and in 1920 he has an extraordinary cast of characters with which to work his magic. … one helluva historical dinner party. An unforgettable group portrait of America on the brink of modernity.”
–Richard Norton Smith

“absorbing . . . a broad, satisfying political and social history, in the style of Doris Kearns Goodwin.” –Publishers Weekly

“Loved it!”–Sen. Mitch McConnell
“1920: The Year of the Six Presidents is everything a great narrative history should be: deeply researched, vividly written, brimming with detail and sharp, revealing quotations. David Pietrusza is a jolly chronicler of a bitter presidential campaign waged at a fraught historical moment, and he brings his large and colorful cast of characters to life on the page. Readers get a ringside seat to a great political show.”–Elaine Weiss, Author of The Woman’s Hour: The Great Fight to Win the Vote

“a colorful, nonacademic account . . . Fans of political history will enjoy this book.” –The Seattle Times

“should be required reading for college political science and history courses.”—David Mark, Sr. Editor, POLITICO

“Fascinating and compelling . . . Highly recommended.”

—Library Journal

“I just loved 1920“
–Jonah Goldberg
“an unbelievable book you should read”
–Glenn Beck
“More than just a story of six men who either already had been president or would be, this is the story of America as it moved into the modern age.”
–Denver Post
“a very vivid portrait of each of these presidents.”
–Ann Compton, ABC News
