The American Century

Arranged as a series of short articles, Evan`s huge illustrated coffee-table book follows the major changes that took place in America from the late 1800s through the 1990s. It examines the many societal shifts-women`s suffrage, the Great Depression, the Civil Rights Movement, and the emergence of the counterculture-as well as the role that the US played as one of the 20th century`s dominant world powers. Enhanced by hundreds of photographs depicting not only well-known politicians and celebrities but also ordinary Americans from all walks of life, along with editorial cartoons and magazine covers, the book provides a concise and illuminating history of approximately 100 years of American life.
