The Crosswinds of Freedom, 1932–1988 (The American Experiment)

A Pulitzer Prize winnerâ€™s â€œimmensely readableâ€ history of the United States from FDRâ€™s election to the final days of the Cold War (Publishers Weekly).
Â
The Crosswinds of Freedom is an articulate and incisive examination of the United States during its rise to become the worldâ€™s sole superpower. Here is a young democracy transformed by the Great Depression, the Second World War, the Cold War, the rapid pace of technological change, and the distinct visions of nine presidents. Spanning fifty-six years and touching on many corners of the nationâ€™s complex cultural tapestry, Burnsâ€™s work is a remarkable look at the forces that gave rise to the â€œAmerican Century.â€
