Glory and Dreams (four Volumes)
About This Novel
Wang Shi, He Huaihong, He Fan, and Yu Minhong enthusiastically recommended. This is not a book, this is an era. Since its release in 1974, "Glory and Dreams" has been remembered by countless people. This great work skillfully condenses 40 years of rich American history from 1932-1972. The famous popular history writer William Manchester uses the administration and campaigns of several US presidents as a bright line, from the "Hooverville" and "Hoover Wagon" that made Hoover lose face, Roosevelt's unprecedented four elections, all the way to Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, and the Watergate incident that led to the resignation of Nixon. It vividly and meticulously depicts the 40-year social development process of the United States from 1932 to 1972, covering the "compensation army" trend, the Great Depression, the human rights movement, McCarthyism, apartheid, the two world wars, the development of the atomic bomb, the space race, the Cold War, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, etc. Manchester panoramically reproduces the politics, economy, military, society, art, science, fashion, music, entertainment, and even life hot spots, women's clothing trends, changes in spoken language, and changes in sexual concepts in the United States over the past 40 years. Manchester also describes American society in a global context. Such a strong contrast arouses strong interest in readers.
