| Summary |
"For this remarkable volume, Mora and Brannan immersed themselves in the vast archive at the Library of Congress and emerged with unknown treasures. Theirs is a new view of the achievement of the FSA photographers--the most comprehensive in print--that gives them their due as the creators of a new American photographic vision."--BOOK JACKET |
