Frank, Lay et al., and Ross all deal with the aftermath of the United
States's brief
involvement in the First World War, and some of its enduring effects –
political reaction
with devastating results for the labour movement and progressive politics,
brutalization
of America's then-normal nativism, directed at members of the recent
immigrant
communities making up about a third of its population.
