About the book
This remarkable collection captures her eye-witness accounts of America in crisis. From these pages, we understand the real cost of sudden destitution on a vast scale. We taste the dust in the mouth, smell the disease and feel the hopelessness and the despair of ordinary Americans struggling to survive. Here, too, we can hear the earliest cadences of a writer who went on to become, arguably, the greatest female war reporter of the 20th century.
