A Nation Lost And Found: 1936 America Remembered by Ordinary and Extraordinary People

A Nation Lost and Found provides an extraordinary look at the moving personal stories of people who lived through the turbulent mid-1930's - a period in which the spirit of the individual, and the collective spirit of a nation, were awakened. The voices, experiences and remembrances in this unique compliation echo the patriotic fervor, the expressions of hope, the forecasts of doom, the crows of triumph and the cries of despair that have also resonated since 9/11 and send a message that we have passed this way beofre. What emerges is a kaleidoscopic picture of both the pain and joy of an era that also holds a powerful message for today's uncertain world.
