Explores the history, society and culture of the post-war period. Beginning with an overview of American society during the war years, the text and color illustrations proceed through the Boomer years. For each decade, presents a summary of population and family, education, economics, and cultural currents, followed by a chronology highlighting significant yearly cultural, political and social events. A "big picture" map allows readers to visually pinpoint major world developments. Each chapter covers four recurring themes (the Cold War, protests, television and technology), as well as biographies of individuals with an impact on the period, trends, and events exclusive to the decade. Hamilton is a professor of history at Spring Hill College in Mobile, Alabama. Oversize: 9.25x12.50". Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
