Title: They say you can't go home again...
Review: I'm admittedly anapolitical, so there was a lot about this book that I didn't appreciate. Is there any political satirist that isn't inherently angry about something? (Would he have anything to say if he wasn't?) Does all that ax-grinding make any difference to peoples' lives? Does anyone become kinder, gentler through cartoons and ranting?Read in small doses, this was an entirely fascinating look at post-war (WWII) America. The social psychologist in me ate it up! Every chapter covered a different aspect of a nation in the throes of adolescence: the returning GI and his place in society, reemploying and refitting a nation, Top Brass and bad attitudes, Hollywood and the war image, immigration and Displaced Persons, racism and reconstruction, the motor industry with it's shortages and highway robbery, the early days of the Cold War....These are pre-internet blogs! One could learn a lot from an expert!
Is the review positive or negative?
