fortgal avatar reviewed on + 8 more book reviews


1941-1960, from Pearl Harbor through the Presidential election of 1960, a serious exploration of the political and cultural forces affecting American life in the mid- 20th century. Especially interesting for discussion of post-World War II and the Cold War. Includes several iconic photographs of the age. Well indexed and sources documented.
