Abstract: Twentieth Century America offers a succinct, comprehensive, and objective examination of recent American history. Providing solid coverage of each era without burying readers in unnecessary detail and trivia, Reeves lays bear the whole of the twentieth century with an interpretation that strives for an unbiased and accurate presentation of the real story of American history. Each chapter discusses the most important social, political, and economic developments of the period. Reeves conveys vivid accounts of the changes in the political arena, public policy, popular culture, industry, economy, and race, gender, and class issues that defined the times, as well as the great strides made over the last one hundred years in technology, living standards, working conditions, and education. The list of recommended readings at the end of each chapter acquaints readers with the most readable and provocative books on each era, and has been specially selected to appeal to students.
