A review by explore725
1919 the Year That Changed America by Martin W. Sandler

4.0

Coincidence or not when my library closes down for the pandemic at hand this is one of two books I had checked out and get to keep for the indefinite time ahead. I finally decided to read it. It was quite interesting how similar times were back then. Some of the exact same issues are still at hand. Today it is coronavirus instead of flu. Today it is gun violence or marijuana instead of alcohol. We still have organized crime. We still are having labor disputes. We still question what exactly the Russians are doing in our society. We still haven’t elected a woman President (or even as Vice). History does indeed repeat. But there has been progress too. Though maybe not as much as I would have thought. I found it a very interesting read, especially now.
