Storm Lake: Change, Resilience, and Hope in America's Heartland

"A reminder that even the smallest newspapers can hold the most powerful among us accountable."â€”The New York Times Book Review

Iowa plays an outsize role in national politics. Iowa introduced Barack Obama and voted bigly for Donald Trump. But is it a bellwether for America, a harbinger of its future? Art Cullenâ€™s answer is complicated and honest. In truth, Iowa is losing ground. The Trump trade wars are hammering farmers and manufacturers. Health insurance premiums and drug prices are soaring. Thatâ€™s what Iowans are dealing with, and the problems they face are the problems of the heartland.

In this candid and timely book, Art Cullenâ€”the Storm Lake Times newspaperman who won a Pulitzer Prize for taking on big corporate agri-industry and its poisoning of local riversâ€”describes how the heartland has changed dramatically over his career. In a story where politics, agriÂculture, the environment, and immigration all converge, Cullen offers an unsentimental ode to rural America and to the resilient people of a vibrant community of fifteen thousand in Northwest Iowa, as much surÂvivors as their town.
