Synopsis "class,a guide through the american status system"

The bestselling, comprehensive, and carefully researched guide to the ins-and-outs of the American class system with a detailed look at the defining factors of each group, from customs to fashion to housing. Based on careful research and told with grace and wit, Paul Fessell shows how everything people within American society do, say, and own reflects their social status. Detailing the lifestyles of each class, from the way they dress and where they live to their education and hobbies, Class is sure to entertain, enlighten, and occasionally enrage readers as they identify their own place in society and see how the other half lives.

United States, 1924. Historian, writer, and professor of literature at the University of Pennsylvania, he was marked by his experiences at nineteen as an infantry officer in France in 1945. Since then, he has sought to demystify the romanticism of battle by studying in depth the two world wars in his publications, studies that have earned him the National Book Award for Arts and Letters or the National Book Critics Circle Award for Criticism.
