A brilliant, sweeping, and unparalleled look at the extraordinarily rich culture and turbulent politics of New York City between the years 1945 and 1950, The Brazen Age opens with Franklin Delano Roosevelts campaign tour through the citys boroughs in 1944.

While concentrating on those five years, David Reid also reaches back to the turn of the twentieth century to explore the citys progressive politics, radical artistic experimentation, and burgeoning bohemia.
 
From 1900 to 1929, New York City was a dynamic metropolis on the rise, and it quickly became a cultural nexus of new architecture  the home of a thriving movie business  the glittering center of theater and radio  and a hub of book, magazine, and newspaper publishing. In the 1930s, the rise of Hitler and World War II would send some of Europes most talented men and women to Americas shores, vastly enriching the fields of science, architecture, film, and arts and lettersthe list includes Albert Einstein, Erwin Panofsky, Walter Gropius, George Grosz, Andr Kertsz, Robert Capa, Thomas Mann, Hannah Arendt, Vladimir Nabokov, and John Lukacs.
