As someone who really grew up during the 1980s, this book was a walk into the past. So many of our nation's, and our world's, major events are outlined in this book. From the demolition of the Berlin Wall, to music icons (Madonna, Michael Jackson, and LL Cool J), and countless fads and fashions, this book is our history.

Too much regarding sports and media of the decade

Sliding from the 70’s into the 1980’s. I’d like to pick up the other books in this series if I can find them at my library. Lots of fun reading about “history” that seems so recent to me.
