The International Style
A must read, obviously, for those interested in the dissemination of European modern architecture within the US. There's little need to repeat the oft-observed aspect that Johnson and Hitchcock's book and MoMA exhibit essentially purged out all of the social determinants that many of these projects responded to (or at least those that their architects spoke/wrote about), so grab the book and spend a lovely afternoon at an airport or DMV waiting line near you.
