  • "A prize-winning historian chronicles the outstanding progress and profound failures of postwar American life--from the economic boom of the 1950s, to current conservative trends--and offers alternate possibilities."
  • "This popular and classic text chronicles America's roller-coaster journey through the decades since World War II. Considering both the paradoxes and the possibilities of postwar America, William H. Chafe portrays the significant cultural and political themes that have colored our country's past and present, including issues of race, class, gender, foreign policy, and economic and social reform. He examines such subjects as the Vietnam War, the civil rights movement, the origins and the end of the Cold War, the culture of the 1970s, the rise of the New Right, the Clinton presidency, the events of September 11th and their aftermath, the war in Iraq, the 2004 election, and the beginning of George W. Bush's second term. In this new edition, Chafe provides a nuanced yet unabashed assessment of George W. Bush's presidency, covering his reelection, the saga of the Iraq War, and the administration's response to the widespread devastation of Hurricane Katrina. Chafe also provides a detailed account of the state of the nation under the Bush administration, including the economic situation, the cultural polarization over such issues as stem cell research and gay marriage, the shifting public opinion of the Iraq War, and the widening gap between the poorest and the wealthiest citizens. Brilliantly written by a prize-winning historian, The Unfinished Journey, Sixth Edition, is an essential text for all students of recent American history.--Publisher's description."
  • "Expanded to include updated cultural and political material, this social history of the USA following World War II includes discussion of race, the 1992 presidential elections, the Perot phenomenon and the rise of an independent third party as a major force in presidential politics."
  • "Chronicles the history of the United States over the past forty five years, including the first years of the Bush administration."
