America Since 1945

A selection of articles that deal with - and link together - the most significant political and social events of the past thirty-five years (1945-1980). The editors attempted to offer an interesting combination of primary and secondary materials ranging from the views of Averell Harriman and Barton Bernstein on the Cold War, to Michael's Harrington's "The Other America" and Lester Thurow's "The Zero-Sum Society".
