A Generation on Trial
A Generation on Trial
By Alistair Cooke
Knopf, 1950, 342 pp

The author does not attempt to unravel the past or inner lives of the principals but delivers some very penetrating, and British, observations on the American political scene, the mores of our press, and our trial system.
