1920

"A hugely fascinating episode in American history, told with insight and great humor, by an author in command of his subject."—Kirkus Review, starred review

"Absorbing...a broad, satisfying political and social history."—Publishers Weekly

"A terrific and fun read."—Bloomberg Radio

"[A] campaign like no other before or since. David Pietrusza... builds the suspense of the 1920 campaign so effectively that the reader easily suspends, for the moment, knowledge of the outcome, as if it were still about to happen."—The Weekly Standard

"A colorful, nonacademic account.... Most of all, there are characters. Pietrusza draws them sharply: the imperious Wilson, the obliging Harding, the dour and honest Coolidge and the ambitious and dissembling Franklin Roosevelt. Fans of political history will enjoy this book."—Seattle Times

"Fascinating and compelling.... Highly recommended."—Library Journal

"An ably popular treatment that fans of campaign histories will enjoy."—Booklist

"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

"Sweeping and original."—The History Book Club

"In 1920: The Year of Six Presidents, writer David Pietrusza shows the right way to pull together disparate characters into a coherent narrative...this book portrays an America that has stopped looking backward and has begun to craft a new country and a new world role."—Washington Times
