The Glory and the Dream - A Narrative History of America - 1932-1972
November 3, 2021Time for some non-fiction and judging from the ratings this was a good choice. This is another found/rescued book - from where I don't know. I've read into it a bit - last night - and it's pretty damned good so far. The Depression, The New Deal, World War II, post-war prosperity and growth, Korea, Civil Rights, Vietnam, the 60's ... YIKES! Only 40 years and so much going on... So far my main impression is of how much 1932 looks like today. The Republican Party still wants to blame the victims of capitalist predation and excess, and that old American exceptionalism(?) and mythology is still going strong - love the rich - hate the poor. Ugh! Thank God for F.D.R. - and how interesting and pitiful(for us) is it that so many righties still vilify him! As for me, I was born in 1946 and "came of age" in the 60's. I'm a baby boomer 60's guy all the way!
