Hall, Hal

Working name of US author Harold Curtis Hall (1911-1992), not to be confused with Hal W Hall; his Future War novel, The Great Conflict (1942), clearly inspired by the challenge of the New Deal and then World War Two, introduces a visitor to the Utopian America of 2009, a land of peace and productivity. Politicking has ebbed; democracy rules. [JC]
