Opis

"From Truman to the 21st Century" details personal observations of significant historical events and the impact of these events on our culture during the second half of the 20th century and the threshold of the 21st century. The content is based on actual events, the presidents in office during the events and how their leadership impacted America culturally and politically. A biography of the presidents in power since 1948 as well as a brief biography of the signers of The Constitution provide a historical context. Several topics including religion, education, the press and immigration are dealt with from both historical and observational perspectives. Quotes from the founding fathers and various presidents will also provide insight.
