"MY PILGRIM'S PROGRESS, by G.W.S.Trow, is a personal understanding of the second half of the 20th century in the U.S. through a media lens. The analysis is at once deep, far-ranging, and quirky. The points of reference are known to just about anybody who lived through that period, especially anyone who watched TV. The author shows the shift in values that happened, how and when and why they happened, using very specific references, like the Howdy Doodie Show, David Letterman, Winston Churchill, the Atom bomb, "Rear Window," etc.. I recommend this to anyone with an interest in the subject as insightful, idiosyncratic, eminently readable, cogent, thought-provoking -- and funny."
