Editorial Review:

Product Description:
The dust storms that terrorized the High Plains in the darkest years
of the Depression were like nothing ever seen before or since.
Timothy Egan's critically acclaimed account rescues this iconic chapter
of American history from the shadows in a tour de force of historical
reportage. Following a dozen families and their communities through
the rise and fall of the region, Egan tells of their desperate attempts to
carry on through blinding black dust blizzards, crop failure, and the
death of loved ones. Brilliantly capturing the terrifying drama of catastrophe,
Egan does equal justice to the human characters who become
his heroes, "the stoic, long-suffering men and women whose lives he
opens up with urgency and respect" (New York Times).

In an era that promises ever-greater natural disasters, The Worst
Hard Time is "arguably the best nonfiction book yet" (Austin Statesman
Journal) on the greatest environmental disaster ever to be visited
upon our land and a powerful cautionary tale about the dangers of
trifling with nature.

Rating:

- Shows how little the people who run this country care
Facing the biggest crisis since the Great Depression, this book should serve as a warning to us about how little those who run this country care for the lives of working people, farmers, and entire regions of the country. A whole region of the country was allowed to sink into total poverty, death, and destruction. Towns were abandoned, farmersm on what had been the richest lands in the world a few years previous, starved to death. As a teacher I hear other teachers tell me that with public jobs ... Read More
