"War Fever explores this delirious moment in American history through the stories of three men: Karl Muck, the German conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, accused of being an enemy spy; Charles Whittlesey, a Harvard law graduate who became an unlikely hero in Europe; and the most famous baseball player of all time, Babe Ruth, poised to revolutionize the game he loved. Together, they offer a gripping narrative of America at war and American culture in upheaval."
It was during the early 1900's that the Spanish Flu had sickened many in America and it was during this time that many struggled to simply make ends meet.
The author Randy W. Roberts did a wonderful job in portraying these struggles but also the triumphs in a tone that was uplifting and powerful.
Thank you to Randy, the pub, NetGalley, and Amazon Kindle for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.
