A journey through the Great Plains of America, evoking the history of the land and the dramatic early decades of the 20th Century.
Jonathan Raban takes you on an enthralling journey into the least populated and least known region in the United States, the Great Plains of Montana, and finds there the heart and soul of the country.

Bringing to life the extraordinary landscape of the prairie and the homesteaders whose dreams foundered there, and reaching through history to the present day, Bad Land uncovers the dangerous legacy of American innocence gone sour.

'Bad Land should be recognized as a blazing classic' – Sunday Telegraph

Over the span of six decades, he won the National Book Critics Circle Award, the Royal Society of Literature’s Heinemann Award, the Thomas Cook Award, the PEN West Creative Nonfiction Award, the Pacific Northwest Booksellers’ Award, and the Governor’s Award of the State of Washington.
