America in Our Time by Godfrey Hodgson
Presents the history of the turbulent years between the end of World War II and the fall of Richard Nixon. Focusing on the 1960s, this book shows how the consensus was shattered by the converging blows of racial upheaval, the Vietnam War, and a pervasive crisis of authority in American society.
Praise for the previous edition: "A critique so stimulating and compelling that I can only say read it"--Richard R. Lingeman, New York Times Praise for the previous edition: "[This book] simply gets right, without great fuss, the detail and proportion of things like the civil rights movement, student unrest, the stages of our Vietnam engagement."--Garry Wills, New York Review of Books Praise for the previous edition: "Probably the most important general account yet written of America since World War II."--Paul Starr, New Republic
