From Library Journal
From 1941 to 1984, the United States achieved an amazing record of economic growth while witnessing the decline of its diplomacy and the fragmenting of its society. Author Chafe recounts the period in an exceptionally well-written study that bristles with telling anecdotes and quotations. His interpretation of events prior to 1968 is fairly routine but is supported with a sparkling density of statistical detail. However, after that signal date, his writing becomes more impressionistic and fails to fully account for the emergence of the New Right. The shift of traditionally liberal Jewish voters and the disaffection of blue-collar workers away from the left requires further research. For informed laypersons as well as scholars and specialists. James L. Jablonow ski, History Dept., Marquette Univ., Milwaukee

Product Review
"Provides all the necessary details, critical when it is appropriate, insightful, informative!"--James Edmonson, Emmanuel College
"Still the best-written text on the period."--Paul Barrett, Illinois Institute of Technology
"Beautifully written. . . . Unquestionably the finest history of the post--World War II era." --Lewis H. Carlson, Western Michigan University
"The Unfinished Journey still makes our students feel the history of the postwar era and is unsurpassed for the civil rights coverage."--Mollie C. Davis, Queens College
Reader Reviews
This review is from: The Unfinished Journey: America Since World War II (Paperback)
Chafe does a good job on selected topics;i.e., politics, civil rights and foreign policy. Weak on economics, technology, farm policy. Heavily dependent on some secondary sources like Doris Kearns Goodwin. Needs updating badly. 4th edition has been delayed for months.
