Angriest pages of his book are those in which he describes-and explains-the plight of those downtrodden U. S. citizens whom other upstanding U. S. citizens ("the rabble on top") turned into Okies. He moved up to Milwaukee, joined Victor Berger on the famed Leader and fought to keep that paper going (as it did) in spite of wartime persecution by Postmaster Burleson...

Last year she arrived in Manhattan, applied for U.S. citizenship. Today she is engaged in the same trade as her father. Her angriest book, School for Barbarians, with a preface by her father, was published last week.* Miss Mann's book is about Germany's children.
