The dust storms that terrorized the High Plains in the darkestyears of the Depression were like nothing ever seen before orsince. Timothy Egan's critically acclaimed account rescues thisiconic chapter of American history from the shadows in a tour deforce of historical reportage.

They proclaimed that their slavesenjoyed a better and more secure life than any laboring class inthe world. Now, did it not follow that the lives of laborers of allraces across the world would be immeasurably improved by theirenslavement? In the Old South but in no other slave society adoctrine emerged among leading clergymen, politicians, andintellectuals - 'Slavery in the Abstract', which declaredenslavement the best possible condition for all labor regardless ofrace.
