- Summary
- "This fast-paced and entertaining book unfolds the immense significance of the hamburger as an American icon. Josh Ozersky shows how the history of the burger is entwined with American business and culture and, unexpectedly, how the burger's story is in many ways the story of the country that invented (and reinvented) it. America has run on hamburgers for almost a century. This is the story of their sizzle and their symbolism, where they came from and how they conquered the world."--BOOK JACKET.
