With superb detail, Goldberg traces the entire decade from the first stirrings of war in a nation consumed by the Great Depression to the conflicts with Europe and Japan to the start of the Cold War and the dawn of the atomic age. Richly drawn portraits of the pe-riod's charismatic, brilliant, and often controversial leaders-Frank-lin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Harry Truman-demonstrate their immense importance in shaping the era and, in turn, the course of American government, politics, and society. Goldberg chronicles U.S. heroic accomplishments during World War II and the early Cold War, showing how these military and diplomatic achievements helped lay the foundation for the country's current role in economic and military affairs worldwide. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCombining an engrossing narrative with intelligent analysis, \u003ci\u003eAmerica in the Forties\u003c\/i\u003e enriches our understanding of that pivotal era.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRonald Allen Goldberg \u003c\/b\u003eis professor of history and chair of the History Department at Thomas Nelson Community College in Hampton, Virginia.
