Book summary

Joe Bageant returns to his hometown of Winchester, Virginia, at the end of the 20th century and is outraged by how working-class Americans are duped by the Republican right, neglected by corporate America, and lost in their own misguided haze of fast food, beer, and God. Bageant writes with fondness about his roots, but also provides a savage and bitingly funny critique of how America has betrayed its blue-collar workers and how they have betrayed themselves.

"While HUNTING may leave you heartsick, it's hard to turn away."
