Here is a young democracy transformed by the Great Depression, the Second World War, the Cold War, the rapid pace of technological change, and the distinct visions of nine presidents. Spanning fifty-six years and touching on many corners of the nation&rsquo;s complex cultural tapestry, Burns&rsquo;s work is a remarkable look at the forces that gave rise to the &ldquo;American Century.&rdquo;</DIV><DIV>&#160;</DIV></DIV>
