Book Reviews of The Worst Hard Time: The Untold Story of Those Who Survived the Great American Dust Bowl
Book Review: "Can't-put-it-down-History"
Summary: 5 Stars
Said Walter Cronkite in one of the book's blurbs, and I found it to be true. Riveting. My only complaint is that I would have liked to have read more detail about the daily life of these people. What did they do, day-to-day, besides fight the dirt, if the crops had died? How did they spend their time?
A true ecological disaster, the first public consciousness of the concept of ecology, and an implicit condemnation of the "free market".
