History of US (1945-2001), A – All the People – Historical Book – Oxford University Press from Oxford University Press

Description

People call it “post-war,” but All the People covers a period of U.S. history that features battles of another kind—from Cold War combat overseas to struggle for equality at home to learning to live with the threat of terrorism on U.S. soil. During these years, the United States began to be a nation for all its people, outlawing school segregation, protesting war in Vietnam, and campaigning for equal rights for women.
