Jacket Notes:
For Inside U.S.A., John Gunther set out from California and traveled the entire country. His frank, lucid observations along the way - on race relations, labor, the Tennessee Valley Authority, farm life, the politics of the big cities, and much else - yield fascinating insight into life fifty years ago. Now, on the brink of the millennium, this fiftieth anniversary edition of Inside U.S.A. provides an invaluable picture of America as it was then, both for those old enough to remember it and for young people who may be astonished to see the ways the country has changed.
Description
First published in 1948, this book provides insights into US politics and culture. The author set out from California and travelled to the Pacific Northwest, across the Rocky Mountains, the Great Plains states, and what was then the immense agricultural expanse of the Midwest, up to New England, and the down the Atlantic Seaboard to the South and Southwest. His observations along the way - on topics such as race relations, labour, the Tennessee Valley Authority, farm life, the politics of the big cities - offer a portrait of American life half a century ago.
