From Boy Scouts to soldiers, nurses to UPS workers, chefs to nuns, Fussell describes, in sharp and telling anecdotes the history and meanings of various uniforms. "Uniforms" is vintage Fussell--a blend of vinegar and grace, of keen cultural insight and hilarious wit, equal parts spoof and illuminating social analysis. 8-page photo insert. |
