The Proud Decades: America in War and in Peace, 1941-1960
reviewed on + 9 more book reviews


This book is a fast-paced narrative with all the detail you need to understand the philosophical origins of the Cold War and MLK's nonviolence. There is discussion of liberal, centrist, and conservative writers, scholars, and policy-makers. This book is great for U.S. History teachers to supplement their survey texts.
