The Greatest Decade

For those old enough to remember and those curious and intelligent enough to wonder, The Not to Be Forgotten Forties is a gold mine of astonisnment. With over 300 black and white photos and poignant text, the author takes us through the most dramatic decade in world history. In 10 short years, the world waged its greatest war and recovered, invented technology that changed world economy, ended segragation in pro sports and saw one country, the U.S., change from a poor, asleep and isolated nation, to a rich and powerful leader of the world. This book will provide hours of absorbing nostalgia for seniors and mind-boggling stuff for juniors (Grandpa ... were you there when THAT happened?). It's a great keepsake book for all ages.
