Quest for Identity: The U.S. Since 1945

QUEST FOR IDENTITY is designed to meet the need of students of postwar America. A concise and well-crafted narrative, this book encompasses the events, personalities, and conditions that shaped national consciousness after World War II. It includes analyses of the causes underlying the principal social, economic, political, and international problems of the era. Readers will notice an emphasis on politics and foreign affairs, although more than half of the text deals with cultural and socio-economic matters.
