HRD. Condición: New. New Book. Shipped from UK. Established seller since 2000.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. In the USA, 1939 was a year like no other. Gangster Al Capone, his brain addled by syphilis, was released from Alcatraz; famed pilot Amelia Earhart was officially declared dead; boxer Joe Louis reigned supreme; Frank Sinatra got married and his career skyrocketed; and the New York Yankees fielded perhaps their greatest team. It was a sensational year for Hollywood too, with filmmakers churning out a movie a day, and with some of the all-time greats like The Wizard of Oz and Gone With The Wind among them. Meanwhile, the masses lived their lives, going to concerts, theaters, and New York's revolutionary World's Fair, which introduced television, air conditioning, nylons, and fluorescent lighting. There was little indication of the horrors unfolding across the Atlantic and Pacific, horrors in which the United States would soon become embroiled. From Hitler to Hollywood: When the Earth Fell from its Axis and Hollywood Made its Greatest Movies is a book about an extraordinary year in America: a crescendo of culture, creativity, and excitement on the eve of the most devastating war in human history. AUTHOR: R. Marc Kantrowitz has served as an assistant district attorney, private counsel, and a judge on the trial and appellate courts. He has handled thousands of cases, trying over 100 to a jury. He was also lead counsel on two dozen first degree murder cases. He is the most highly published author on state law in the Commonwealth, writing books on criminal law, civil law, juvenile law, evidence and mental health. He was the creator of the Massachusetts Guide to Evidence, now used in every court in the Commonwealth. In 2024, he was inducted into the Massachusetts Lawyers Hall of Fame. He continues to publish two columns, 'Law 'n History' and 'Unsolved', for Lawyers Weekly, and has taught undergrad and law school for over twenty years. This is his sixth history-related book. 105 b/w illustrations Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
