| Sumario: | In this concise yet thorough history of America in the 1980s, Doug Rossinow takes the full measure of Ronald Reagan's presidency and the ideology of Reaganism. From the widening gender gap to the triumph of yuppies and rap music; from Reagan's tax cuts and military buildup to the celebrity of Michael Jackson and Madonna; from the era's Wall Street scandals to the successes of Bill Gates and Sam Walton; from the first 'war on terror' to the end of the Cold War, this sober, unsparing account provides a vital perspective on a decade that dramatically altered the American landscape. |
