About This Item
Quote from back of DJ: "David Kennedy's panoramic history of America and the world between 1929 and 1945 is a superb reconstruction of the era that formed our times. Simply put, it is a brilliant narrative and analysis. Anyone who wants to understand our century needs to ready Kennedy's book." - Robert Dallek, author
Lizabeth Cohen, author, says that Kennedy combines a brilliant historian with a great storyteller. "The result is engrossing history, with all the complex characters and suspense of high drama put impressively to the task of demonstrating how a decade and a half of Great Depression and World War have shaped the rest of our century."
Book - Good condition. Blue paper over boards with gold gilt text on spine. Since this is such a thick book, the bottom of the closed book page edges have soiled. Pages 557-572 are rough at the top of the pages - I believe this is due to a page cutting flaw. Text is clean and binding is good.
Dust Jacket - Very Good condition. Light rubbing and bumping. Very light edge/corner wear.
