That 70's show ... trucking in the USA,
By
This review is from: Hammer Down: The Heavy Trucker's Romance With the Open Road (Hardcover)
In similar genre as that classic "The Cult of The Big Rigs", this book is a valued addition to my collection, covering the turbulent days of Big Rigs... the 1970's in USA, and more particularly, the opinions and feelings of the truckers at that time. The "fuel crisis" features heavily on their minds. Today one might wonder what all the fuss was about back then.Don't let the lack of color photos put you off. There are stacks of black and white pictures on 170 pages and some probably look better that way. The preface to this book, first printed in 1977, reads " There are a lot of people who misrepresent truckers, like in songs, or in magazines, or in movies. As far as I am concerned, they're just makin' a buck on us. Your book better quote us right." The book presents both an objective view and also captures the mood of truckers and trucking at that time. Seventies nostalgia. |
