The Disunited States - Vladimir Pozner

Vladimir Pozner, the influential French novelist, screenwriter, pioneer in literary genre and Oscar nominee, came to the United States in the 1930's. He found the nation and its people in a state of profound material and spiritual crisis, and took it upon himself to chronicle the life of the worker, the striker, the politician, the starlet, the gangster, the everyman; to document the bitter, violent racism tearing its society apart, the overwhelming despair permeating everyday life and the unyielding human struggle against it all.
