Have you ever wanted a first-hand glimpse into post-war 1940s New York? When 21-year-old John Miskin Prior travelled by ship to New York in 1948, he had no idea he was going to meet and dine with the Roosevelts and the Rockefellers. No idea he would be among the first ever to see ‘South Pacific’ and ‘Death of a Salesman’. No idea he would witness Truman’s election victory, so unexpected, the newspapers were reprinted. This eyewitness account of an English student living in New York for the incredible year of 1948 - 49 has been collated from his letters discovered after his death, and forms a unique account of the period.
