Product Description
A sweeping history of America during the tumultuous decades between the ends of World War I and World War II, when a mainly rural, isolationist republic was transformed into a nuclear superpower and the leader of the free world. Through the prosperous 1920s and its culture wars to the Great Crash and Depression of the Thirties, the fits and starts of the New Deal, and then the all-consuming fight to defeat fascism in World War II, the twenty-five years from 1920 through 1945 witnessed the creation of what would be known as the American century.Two towering political figures, Herbert Hoover and Franklin D Roosevelt, dominated the politics of these years in which America underwent a breathtaking metamorphosis, with all its power and trade-offs: its predominance on the global stage, its increasingly imperial government, its unprecedented affluence, and its far-flung cultural influence. Prosperity Road captures in telling detail how war and the experiences of economic boom and bust shaped America’s political expectations and its institutions.Written by acclaimed Cambridge historian Anthony J Badger, Prosperity Road is cultural, economic, and political history at its finest and most captivating. Other books in the American History series include:Ecstatic Nation by Brenda WineappleRebirth of a Nation by Jackson LearsWalking Giant by David S.ReynoldsThe Age of Reagan by Sean Wilentz
