This article presents information on several books, "Das Amerikanische Wirtschaftswunder," by Julius Hirsch, "Das Land Gottes. Das geistige Amerika von Heute," by Herman George Scheffauer and "Amerika und der Amerikanismus," by Adolf Halfeld. The German post-war literature on America is a literature of many moods. There is first of all the mood of the small boy who has been permitted to go inside a Christmas window-display of toys. He has already heard about how wonderful it is going to be, and here he is watching the shiny engines run along the bright new tracks and the people moving about just exactly as though they were alive.
