Politics

In this timely book, Cullen describes the dramatic change in politics, agriculture, the environment, and immigration to Storm Lake over the course of his career. With typical Iowan optimism and stubbornness, Art Cullen investigates whether Iowa is a bellwether for America, a nostalgic mirage from The Music Man, or a harbinger of America s future. The result is an unsentimental ode to America's heartland - a story of reinvention and resilience, environmental and economic struggle, and surprising diversity and hope.
