The first Public Enemy No 1 was from South Dakota? What?! This is a fascinating look at the very early G-Men vs. gangster era, and a facet of the Midwest during the Depression/Dust Bowl that isn't often covered.

"This journalistic documentary of sharecroppers in depression-era Alabama has a polarizing effect on readers: is this a deadpan just-the facts-ma’am account of the lives of these families, or a voyeuristic, dehumanizing invasion? To me it’s arresting, highly emotional, and brilliant."

"Forrester was the oldest of 8 children, in Depression-Era Liverpool. No school, no medicine, no hope - her life was exactly as mine would have been, had I not had the incredibly good fortune to be born after the introduction of the NHS and the Welfare State. I read it as a direct letter from her to me. It politicised me instantly."
