What I Saw in America Hardcover - 1968 - 2nd Edition
by Chesterton, G. K
From the publisher
G. K. Chesterton visited the United States in 1921, and his impressions of America, gleaned from this visit, formed the basis of What I Saw in America (1922). This book begins as a travelogue but eventually becomes an extended reflection on what makes a nation a nation. In this regard, Chesterton does succeed in providing interesting insights, worthy of our attention.
