Americans are Alone in the World

by Luigi Barzini

No aspect of American life is left untouched by Barzini's talents. Our "how to" books, our cooking, our penchant for "improving" everything, our inventors, our culture, our wars, debunking myths and pinpointing subtler realities about individual Americans and the nation they compromise. During the Mussolini regime he was under war-time arrest (Count Ciano's diary in April 26, 1940 records the incident and Mussolini's personal hatred), and he began writing again only after the Allied liberation or Rome.
