How did we get from the Four Hundred to the Kardashians? Amory, a Boston Brahmin and America’s foremost 20th Century social historian, unlocked the secrets of American “Society” from the inside and from the Mayflower to the moment Celebrity conquered all. Amory knew where the bodies were buried and how to pry secrets out of living somebodies. Trenchant and often hysterical, I’ve turned to this book so often for inspiration and information that my copy is totally tattered.

From Michael's list on American High Society.
