Reviews

[James Grubb · Rating 4 out of 5]

The third book in Alan Marshall's autobiography left me wanting more, this is Alan at the height of the Depression and it is a good insight into what life was like for the multitudes and the readiness to exploit the powerless by those with power or in authority.
