From patriotic "e;God Bless America"e; to wistful "e;White Christmas,"e; Irving Berlin's        songs have long accompanied Americans as they fall in love, go to war, and come home        for the holidays. Irving Berlin's American Musical Theater is the first book to        fully consider this songwriter's immeasurable influence on the American stage.          Award-winning music historian Jeffrey Magee chronicles Berlin's legendary theatrical        career, providing a rich background to some of the great composer's most enduring        songs, from "e;There's No Business Like Show Business"e; to "e;Puttin' on the Ritz."e; Magee        shows how Berlin's early experience singing for pennies made an impression on the        young man, who kept hold of that sensibility throughout his career and transformed        it into one of the defining attributes of Broadway shows. Magee also looks at darker        aspects of Berlin's life, examining the anti-Semitism that Berlin faced and his        struggle with depression. Informative, provocative, and full of colorful details,        this book will delight song and theater aficionados alike as well as anyone        interested in the story of a man whose life and work expressed so well the American        dream.
