Industry Reviews

"I think that the author strikes a good balance between accessibility and density. The author gives students a very readable history."

-Daniel Murphy, Hanover College

"Outstanding, especially once the narrative moves into the 1930s. The thematic emphasis on the alteration of science's role within American society is sharp and does an excellent job of framing the narrative."

-John Turner, University of South Alabama

"Very well done. I especially liked the section on movie imagery and the atomic age, which should be of interest to students."

-Todd Good, University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point

"I can see assigning such a text in both my upper-division postwar America history course and U.S. diplomatic history course...I can certainly also foresee assigning the book to my survey class(es.)"

-Daniel J. Snyder, University of South Carolina
