Rising from the ashes of The Great War, “The Roaring Twenties” was a period defined by innovation and cultural milestones—from the birth of jazz and the rising influence of African-American culture to prohibition and the evolving roles of women. Author Eric Burns examines the year that started it all—1920—and discusses how this transformative period foreshadowed the coming century and beyond.

Eric Burns, author of 1920: The Year that Made the Decade Roar, is a former host of Fox News Watch, a former NBC News correspondent and Today Show pundit, and has won an Emmy for media criticism.
