Bøker i American West in the Twentieth Century-serien

In the mythology of the West, the city was seen as a place of danger and corruption, but the "bad" city proved its mettle during the "Good War." This book presents a comprehensive study of California's urban home front, which aims to restore a little-known part of the story of the Second World War.

It seems difficult even to imagine the modern West without reference to its planes, trains, and automobiles. This title looks at three major ways in which transportation has shaped the great Western landscape. It examines the interconnections between railroad, highway, aviation, and waterways, and between society and modes of transportation.
