About this book
During the New Deal, three governmental agencies planned, constructed, and managed about a hundred small communities of various types in all parts of the country, hopefully laying the foundation for a new world of tomorrow—a planned world of co-operation and economic security.
Mr. Conkin traces the development and implementation of this complex concept through the minds of many men and the struggles of the different agencies in one of the first detailed histories of a specific New Deal program.
