A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

This is a comprehensive narrative survey of U.S. History since W. W. II. Its hybrid structure retains what is best from traditional public policy approaches while incorporating much demographic, social, cultural, and ecological history.

• coverage of the entire decade of the 1990s, including complete accounts of the Clinton impeachment scandal and NATO's war in Kosovo
