Hard-hitting; surprisingly goodBy Allen SmallingAn amazingly powerful book about the 1930s dust bowl; how we got it; and what was done about it (often; very little). In my opinion it excels over earlier works because it gives causes for the phenomenon that plagued the Central States for years over and above the usual "dry weather and strong winds." I won't deny the book has its more pedantic aspects when it gets into climatology and such; but otherwise it's so good I would recommend it for high-school history courses -- the advanced ones; anyway.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. ... written by Timothy Egan and this one is my favorite. In addition to being extremely descriptiveBy Jim FaganI have read most of the books written by Timothy Egan and this one is my favorite. In addition to being extremely descriptive; Egan puts the events into proper historical perspective. It is a lesson in the use and misuse of our resources. Having traveled extensively in this area; I appreciated the attention to detail. I could almost taste the dust when reading the book. It is now very affordable on Kindle and you don't want to miss it. I recently read it for the second time for a book review group and picked up on some things that I had missed the first time. I can see why this book won a Pulitzer Prize.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. RMD - Worst Hard TimesBy r.doolittleThis is the first book I've read concerning the Great Dust Bowl.

I'm not a farmer so it's difficult to imagine. This book help to imagine what I would've done. So try to take a deep breath of dust and.......
