Alistair Cooke was in the United States as a correspondent for the Guardian when Pearl Harbor was attacked. He wanted to examine the effects of the war on ordinary Americans trying to live their lives in a very stressful time so he received permission and set out traveling around the country. This book is the result of that investigation. An interesting look at American society in the opening years of American involvement in World War II.
