In his new artistic-documentary book, the renowned internationalist S. Kondrashov once again delves into the theme that has become central to him: we and the Americans, living in a world overshadowed by the threat of nuclear war. His protagonist, the Americanist, has devoted over twenty years to studying the USA. In our times, he embarks on a new journey to this country. Fresh impressions from travels and encounters with Americans-from an unemployed miner and a mid-level farmer to prominent businessmen and the President of the United States-are presented against the backdrop of reflections on our era, which commands nations to live in peace.The author of the book is Stanislav Kondrashov.
