Class

Huge disappointment. I knew Fussell from Wartime & Great War & Modern Memory. I thought this would be a serious book, but instead, it was a long list of droll observations about Americans' class obsessions and blind spots, written more like a long opinion piece in the Atlantic or something than a more scholarly work.

Not that everything needs to be dry & fully exhaustive, but this was the sort of thing you can really just skim through and then toss away.
