From Reagan to the Twenty-First Century #989483

From Reagan to the Twenty-First Century explores one of the most transformative periods in modern American history, tracing the United States from the conservative resurgence of the 1980s to the political, economic, technological, and cultural conflicts of the modern era. Beginning with Ronald Reagan and the rise of modern conservatism, this book follows the final years of the Cold War, the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Gulf War, the digital revolution, the tragedy of September 11, 2001, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the Great Recession, the historic election of Barack Obama, and the deepening polarization of the twenty-first century.
