New ed. (2001). Decades of the 20th Century in Color series. These books provide superficial overviews of four decades in U.S. history, looking briefly at fashion, culture, entertainment, politics, social issues, and scientific advances. The books lack depth but will give readers a general understanding of each period. These revised editions feature color photos, which are sometimes crowded onto the pages.
