	"In brisk, vivid prose, the book covers the broad sweep of post-1945 U.S. history, addressing politics, economics, foreign relations, political activism, demographic transformation, and dizzying technological change. Extending to the spring of 2022, it shows how the turmoil, striving, triumphs, and setbacks of the last 77 years shaped today's world"--
	In brisk and engaging prose, this comprehensive introductory textbook traverses the broad sweep of US history since 1945. Winds of Hope, Storms of Discord explores how Americans from all walks of life - political leaders, businesspeople, public intellectuals, workers, students, activists, migrants, and others - struggled to define the nation's political, economic, geopolitical, demographic, and social character. It chronicles the nation's ceaseless ferment, from the rocky conversion to peacetime in the early aftermath of World War II; to the frightening emergence of the Cold War and repeated US military adventures abroad; to the struggles of African Americans and other minorities to claim a share of the American Dream; to the striking transformations in social attitudes catalyzed by the women's movement and struggles for gay and lesbian liberation; to the dynamic force of political, economic, and social conservatism. Carrying the story to the spring of 2022, Winds of Hope also shows how dizzying technological changes at times threatened to upend the nation's civic and political life
