Foreign Born - John Herrmann - Bog

Ernst Weiman is a resourceful German immigrant who lives the American Dream by becoming a successful businessman and leader in the fictional town of Fairbanks, Michigan. His good fortune comes to a sudden halt during World War I, however, when the community becomes suspicious and judgmental of his German heritage. Written in 1925 but never published until now, John Herrmann's Foreign Born is a searing look at prejudice and war-time paranoia. This edition has been prepared from an original manuscript housed at the Harry Ransom Center in Austin, Texas.
