It was meant to be the greatest international exposition the world had ever seen.  It became known as the "Flop Heard 'Round the World." What went wrong with Philadelphia's second world's fair, staged fifty years after its tremendous success with the 1876 Centennial? Filled with unforgettable characters, Sesqui! tells the compelling story of a world's fair that crashed and burned, set against the backdrop of a changing, conflicted city and country during the Roaring Twenties.
