Modern American Lives

"Modern American Lives stems from the authors' convictions that the history of contemporary America can be more thoroughly comprehended by examining the lives of individuals, prominent and otherwise, who decisively shaped the course of events in the decades following World War II. The individuals presented in these narrative biographies significantly, and sometimes decisively, impacted contemporary American life in a wide range of areas including national politics, foreign policy, social and political activism, popular and literary culture, sports, and business. A combined biographical/thematic approach is designed to meet two purposes: to present more extensive biographical information and to offer a fuller examination of key events and issues."--BOOK JACKET.Browne, Blaine T. is the author of 'Modern American Lives', published 2008 under ISBN 9780765622228 and ISBN 076562222X.
