A Midwestern Journalist’s Retrospective

The distance travelled from Elvis to Trump is a lifetime. Which, like all history, is best appreciated in retrospect, and most rewarding when gleaned from first-hand accounts - provided these are forthright and, above all, well-written. These requirements Eric Rozenman’s From Elvis to Trump, Eyewitness to the Unraveling; Co-Starring Nixon, Warhol, Clinton, The Supremes and Obama! satisfies beyond reproach. Despite an unwieldy title that practically doubles as a trailer, the book is a wonderful record of his own lifetime on rewind. His contemporaries will find it nostalgic, their children intriguing, and no one will dismiss it as boring.
