About the Author

Nathaniel Harris is a Heinemann-Raintree author.

From School Library Journal

Grade 7 Up A well-rounded account of the 1930s in the U.S., Britain, and continental Europe. Harris uses biographies, with accompanying background information, of people who were either victims, witnesses, protesters, saviors, or cultural leaders during the tumultuous era: such notables as authors Studs Terkel and Christopher Isherwood, reporter William L. Shirer, propagandist Joseph Goebbels, and artist-photographer Ben Shahn are among the subjects of the 14 biographies presented. Prolific use is made of quotations from the biographees' own words and other primary sources. Furthermore, the text is profusely illustrated with well-chosen, informative black-and-white reproductions of contemporary photographs, cartoons, posters, and other artwork. A helpful glossary, short chronology, reading list of adult titles, and useful index are appended. A few unexplained Briticisms are sprinkled throughout, but they don't mar this well-written book. David A. Lindsey, Lakewood Junior/Senior High School, Wash.
