The Great Crusade and After: 1914-1928

By Preston William Slosson

"The Great Crusade and After, 1914-1928" provides an insightful exploration of one of the most transformative eras in modern history. Covering the period from the outbreak of World War I through the end of the 1920s, this volume examines the profound social, political, and cultural shifts that reshaped the United States and the world. Preston W. Slosson chronicles the immense effort of the war years-the "Great Crusade"-and the subsequent transition to a fragile peace characterized by both progress and turmoil.

The work delves into the changing landscape of American life, addressing topics such as the impact of technology, the rise of mass culture, the effects of Prohibition, and the evolving role of women in society. It offers a comprehensive look at the Roaring Twenties, examining the economic boom and the underlying social tensions that defined the decade. By weaving together political narrative with social history, Slosson captures the spirit of a nation coming of age in the wake of global conflict. This study remains a significant contribution to the understanding of the early twentieth century, providing essential context for the events that would follow.
