Erskine Caldwell's novels Tobacco Road (1932) and God's Little Acre (1933) made the author a popular and critically acclaimed chronicler of the South but also a controversial one, due to his work's political themes and depictions of sexuality. Margaret Bourke-White, fresh from her role as staff photographer for Fortune, became the first female photojournalist for LIFE in 1936, and her iconic images graced its covers and helped solidify the magazine as a preeminent visual periodical.

When Caldwell and Bourke-White married in 1939, they were both celebrities, popular and provocative in equal measures because of their leftist politics and their questioning of American cultural norms. They collaborated on the photodocumentary books You Have Seen Their Faces (1937), North of the Danube (1939), and Say, Is This the U.S.A. (1941). In the summer of 1941, the couple entered Russia on assignment and were there when the Germans invaded on June 22. As a result, Caldwell and Bourke-White were the first Americans to report on the Russian war front by broadcast radio and continued to transmit almost daily newspaper articles about the Russian reaction to the war. Their international celebrity and their clout within the Soviet literary establishment provided them remarkable access to people and places during their five-month stay. Their final collaboration, Russia at War (1942), is a culmination of their work during that time.

Erskine Caldwell, Margaret Bourke-White, and the Popular Front traces and analyzes the couple's collaborations, the adventures that led to them, the evolving political stances that informed them, and the aftereffects and influences of their work on their careers and those of others. Both biographically revealing and analytically astute, author Jay Caldwell offers a profound, new perspective on two of America's most renowned midcentury artists at the peaks of their careers.

Excellent product, highly recommend
Flavor Name: Classic, Size: Large, Flavor Name: Classic, Size: Large
So glad I came across this brand that uses actual edible material instead of the plastic nylon! All of our dogs love the nylon chew toys, but it's so bad for them to eat the little plastic bits! I got the large one & it is VERY large! I actually wish they had a medium one, one in-between the large & small ones as an option. But our dogs still love the large one, just harder for them to carry around & boy is it loud each time it gets dropped on the hardwood floor. It's big enough both the pups can chew on it together at the same time & do just that. We've had it for a couple months now & they don't chew on it everyday, but a few times a week I'd say & it's a tad bit softer than the nylon chews, but I'd say it's held up very well!

Dogs love them
Flavor Name: Beef, Size: Small
My two pups are power chewers. These bones are great! There’s no smell and pieces don’t come off like other bones. Although I am not a fan of the sound it makes when my dogs chew on them (nails on a chalkboard sound to me) they love them and it keeps them entertained. They are extremely hard so I limit their chew time (only because I can’t afford a trip to the vet if a tooth gets cracked) overall satisfied with my purchase, both myself and pups!

Durable Nylabone That My Dog Loves
Size: Large
This Nylabone chew toy is a winner! My dog absolutely loves it and has been chewing on it daily for months, and it’s still holding up great. The durability is impressive, especially compared to other toys that don’t last nearly as long. It’s become my dog’s favorite chew toy, and I love that it keeps him entertained without wearing out quickly. Highly recommend for any heavy chewers!

Worth the money
Size: Large
My dogs love these! I was buying them on Chewy, but there a little cheaper on Amazon. I guess they're flavored because both of my dogs love to chew on them. They hold up pretty well too.
