The stories, some of which I remember hearing in Boorstin's lectures at Cambridge in the mid-60s are still astonishingly fresh – Frederick Tudor the "ice king" of Boston who first found a way to keep Massachusetts ice cold enough, long enough to export it to the Caribbean and the East Indies and who made the American revolution all over again by overthrowing the hot pudding with the iced cream.
The book is like a great firework display on the Fourth of July, fizz and bang and leaving a tracer long in the imagination.
