Overview

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.

John Gunther's Inside series were among the most popular books of reportage of the 1930s and 1940s. His travels throughout the country yield fascinating insights into life 50 years ago. "The richest treasure house of facts about America that has ever been published, and probably the most spirited and interesting."--Sinclair Lewis. Maps & charts. 1,024 pp.
