| Abstract | In this book Dr. Ross interprets the United States to modern Germany, of which he is a citizen. By nature he is not unsympathetic to the country here portrayed, for he boasts some Anglo-Saxon blood, and, were he not a German, confesses that he would wish to be an American. The book. . .contains a spiritous and well-spiced blend of geography and politics. They are likely to interest the English reader only in so far as he may wish to understand the German viewpoint on American history and its contemporary life. . . . 'Amerikas Schicksalsstunde' surveys the contemporary life of the United States on a broad basis of distinctive regions. The author ranges from discussions of the agrarian problem, large-scale industry, the frontier with Latin America, and the New Deal to descriptive accounts of the Southern States, the Californian coast and the Prairie. |
