Take a tour with the most uncompromising anti-automobile history yet of the "American Century". We'll inspect mile by mile the disastrous introduction of the device that unhinged the transportation system of a city, a state, a nation, and consequently the world. This is the history that no U.S. schoolchild ever learns, and no adult is ever reminded of, in a society entirely in the thrall of the most calamitous invention ever unleashed in the name of Progress.
