A Straight Deal; Or the Ancient Grudge Owen Wister Books
This is a polemic (or series of polemics) written to make Americans less hostile toward the British before and after the US entered World War I on their side. The author does his best (which is pretty good) to explain (away) contemporary British customs Americans might find offensive. (No balance - the Germans are heathens or worse in his book.) As such it's a window more into British than American ways: author says British reticence is a big turn-off. What a British subject of 1918 would say about Page Three girls and lager louts (Wister points to American "coarseness") does not bear thinking about.Best part is in the first chapter, where a correspondent tells Wister what it would take for Americans to get along with the British: have a bigger navy. Accurate, that.
