American visitors to USSR, 1930s, 40s and 50s

[Brewer, Michael]

Susan,

If you just peruse Worldcat (or your own library catalog) for the subject
heading

Soviet Union Description and Travel

And then limit to English you will find some relevant items.

Also search the Subject field (not the subject heading) for "journeys soviet
union" (use quotes to make it a phrase).  And limit to English.  Many of
these books are cataloged with a subject heading of their name, followed by
this phrase.  (e.g. Dreiser, Theodore, 1871-1945 -- Journeys -- Soviet
Union.)   If you just search for that phrase (as part of the subject field)
you should bring up a lot of these.

Just off the top of my head, "Behind the Urals: An American Worker in
Russia's City of Steel" is a good one. I am sure you will find many others.

Good luck.
