This volume goes right up to the fall of 1988. It was the least satisfying of the three volumes. His view of FDR is fine with me, but some of his views on the 1970's and 1980's were disenchanting to me. Burns is quite turgid and the book at times scarcely seemed like the history I love to read. The subject--1932 to 1988--is so vast that it almost defies synthesis. I cannot conclude but that most of the country's trouble today is the fact that too few seek to observe what the author calls "old-fashioned" morality. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

A Pulitzer Prize winner's "immensely readable" history of the United States from FDR's election to the final days of the Cold War (Publishers Weekly). The Crosswinds of Freedom is an articulate and incisive examination of the United States during its rise to become the world's sole superpower. Here is a young democracy transformed by the Great Depression, the Second World War, the Cold War, the rapid pace of technological change, and the distinct visions of nine presidents. Spanning fifty-six years and touching on many corners of the nation's complex cultural tapestry, Burns's work is a remarkable look at the forces that gave rise to the "American Century."
