Media Reviews

These 34 valuable essays review the current state of historical research on a wide range of issues and contribute to the scholarly study of US history following World War II. The issues reflect the diverse directions that historical inquiry has recently taken ... This book will help define the new historiography: highly recommended. Choice This is a gem of a book that will fascinate anyone whose interest in recent US history goes beyond nostalgia and personalities. Broad enough to cover both tourism and the Cold War, it will quickly become required reading for scholars of the period. Michael Kazin, Georgetown University and co-author, America Divided: The Civil War of the 1960s
