The Unfinished Journey: America Since World War II 7th Edition

Author is comprehensive in coverage of the title subject. Only criticism would be that he feels he must offer two extreme views in each chapter summary and then his own middle of the road take. This results in having to read some ridiculous points of view. After all Stalin was an evil monster, how can there be a serious opposing view?

Very well written and easy to read. Chafe is a great writer. I enjoyed the book. A good option for those who love history but hate the boring prose of textbooks.

This is much much more interesting than the average text book. I think this a book I'd like to keep around. There is something to be said about the clarity of hindsight and this text seems to have that. It also seems (and I do stress seems) to be a very balanced view of the history of the 'recent' past. I'm actually enjoying my assigned readings for a change

Good Book, needed for class. Arrived in time, in good shape. No Problems. Thought I would have to go without but Amazon has always been able to provide what I need.

Good standard presentation of this period. Well written and organized. Fairly balanced approach.

The author took a great stance in this book. He gives you a lot of "what ifs" in the book along the course of our contemporary history.

I am not happy with the way the book was written. Certain topics were not explained clearly and therefore caused confusion in my understanding of different events and timelines. This is, of course, only my opinion and has no effect on my view of Amazon. Also, just because I do not like this particular book, does not mean it won't work well for someone else.

fast shipping great product just as advertised thank you so much

Thought this was an excellent look at the US. The author avoids following popular assessments of the personalities who were major actors.
