The Roaring Twenties had begun to roar and the Jazz Age had arrived.1922 also saw the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb, the arrest of Mahatma Gandhi, the death of Marcel Proust, the election of a new pope, the release of the first major vampire movie, and the brief imprisonment in Munich of an obscure right-wing demagogue named Adolf Hitler.In a sequence of vividly written sketches, Nick Rennison conjures up all the drama and diversity of an extraordinary year.'The result is an enjoyable biography of an important year that serves as another reminder of how much history just twelve months can contain.' Foreword'In this enjoyable slice of popular history, he assembles a month-by-month almanac, including all the most notable moments from science, politics, art and culture.Rennison lingers long enough on each entry to draw out its full resonance.' Guardian'This is a delightful book, and Rennisons selection is intelligent and lively. He has an eye for the significant detail and an agreeably dry tone.I hope Rennison has a 1923 book already well in hand and is even now researching a 1924 one. This 1922 book should please those who are well-versed in history, but it will also be a treat for those for whom the past is another country.'
