This narrative of The New York World's Fair is a fascinating drama of a glorious optimism for global peace and prosperity, as well as the horror of terrorist bombs, and Germany's menacing aggression toward war. The larger-than-life personalities of Fair President Grover Whalen, Mayor LaGuardia, Robert Moses, and Einstein, make an interesting read.
