A decent, but dated history of the United States between the world wars. Primarily focused on politics, but with some sections on daily life and culture. The book covers from the beginning of the century to Pearl Harbor.
Readers looking for information on this time period would be better served with more recent publications that had access to more recently declassified or accessible materials.
