Книга: «Major Problems in American History Since 1945»
|
We live at the end of an era in U. S. and world history. The "postwar era," the forty-five years bounded on one end by the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 and on the other by the dismantling of the Berlin Wall in 1989, is over, and we have entered a new age. Yet the history of the recent past continues to influence our lives in ways both obvious and subtle. Only by understanding the recent past can we free ourselves from its burdens and become fully self-conscious actors in shaping our future. I hope that the documents and essays in this volume will contribute in some small measure to such an understanding. Издательство: "D. C. Heath and Company" (1992) Формат: 165x235, 752 стр.
