It takes the reader with him on his six subséquent trips to or sojourns in the United States at a number of key periods in its history: World War I, Prohibition, the Depression, Roose-velt's New Deal, and World War II, when Russell spent several years in America.
As far back as the 1920s, many Americans were hailing Russell as "an inspiration to progressive forces in this country, " which he undoubtedly was. If, subsequently, hostile (Continued on back flap) Vissza
