The post-World War II boom in America brought about massive changes in society and culture, not just in the U.S. but around the world. The U.S. had solidified itself as the strongest nation of the world. However, tensions with the Soviet Union intensified into the Cold War leading to a change in politics and social conventions. In Postwar America, Howard Zinn offers an underground, lesser-known view on these spirited years in history. By critically examining America's militarism abroad as well as racism, Zinn raises challenging questions about this era.
