Uncle Sam's BILLION-DOLLAR BABY: A TAXPAYER LOOKS AT THE TVA. Frederick L. Collins, G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York, 1945.
 
The book is a fictional account of what TVA is and how it came about. The reader is taken on a journey as the protagonist is interested in TVA and is looking into the matter himself. This is a great book for anyone interested in this subject. The book shows in general terms how socialism has crept into the country and that we alone can prevent its domination over us. The author involves the whole family in the search for where TVA comes from and where it goes. The book is not aimed at a specific audience.
 
The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is a federally owned electric utility
corporation in the United States. TVA's service area covers all of Tennessee, portions of Alabama, Mississippi, and Kentucky, and small areas of Georgia, North Carolina, and Virginia. While owned by the federal government, TVA receives no taxpayer funding and operates similarly to a private for-profit company. It is headquartered in Knoxville, Tennessee, and is the sixth-largest power supplier and largest public utility in the country. The TVA was created by Congress in 1933 as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's
New Deal.
