669 p.; 23.5 cm. (9.25 inches). Black cloth, with red-stamped spine title. Color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Appendix of Definitions, Notes, Nonperiodical Sources Quoted, and Index.
First Edition Stormy Weather, "Engagingly and wittily, yet... authoritatively and incisively, . . . turns strong crosslights on the forlorn, cliché-ridden days of the Great Depression, peeling away both the clutter of folklore and the illegitimate nostalgia surrounding the period between the Great Crash and Pearl Harbor. It will ring bells of recognition among those mature enough in the disastrous thirties to have caught the full flavor of the times. For those born later here are the forty-to-fifty-year-old roots of 'new' things like Radical Chic, advocacy journalism, open pornography, the population explosion, broadcasting domination of communications, campus demonstrations (including the Veterans of Foreign Wars) and even an early version of 'Hell, no, we won't go!'" [from the dust jacket].
