The title in English would be "High-rise America" - it's a Polish then-journalist' (the author became later a politician) diary from a brief visit to US in 1960s. Good read to me, lots of facts and things I haven't known, such as when the author visited San Francisco, and talked to some peoples who had liberal/left-wing views, but haven't voted for Kennedy in 1960, because they thought JFK would start a war with USSR or something, and due to his confidence and large support from intellectuals, academics, trade unions or middle-class, large parts of Americans trusted him. These SF peoples voted for Nixon, but he hadn't been supported as much from these groups as Kennedy was, so they thought if Nixon will be elected, he will be more cautious about US politics abroad.
In the meantime I read also this, but not English edition:
