by John Sanford (Author), Jack Mearns (Introduction by)
Beginning in A.D. 1000 with Leif Ericson and ending with the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima in 1945, John Sanford (1904-2003), recipient of the PEN Award and the Los Angeles Times Lifetime Achievement Award, presents in poetic prose a searing personal history of the United States.
"It was, and it is, an unrelenting and accusatory book. No one who values his country can find its charges easy to bear-and yet I value my country, too, and the book was written only to make it better."
- John Sanford, in his preface to the 1982 Black Sparrow reissue of A More Goodly Country
