Generations: The History of America's Future, 1584 to 2069Imagine the history of America cast as a succession of generational biographies, beginning in 1584 and encompassing the eighteen generations to have occupied this continent since the founding of the first permanent colony. The most stimulating and politically relevant book on American history that I have ever read. Its effect is sure to be felt in politics, business, the media, and in the field of history itself.--Senator Albert Gore. Illustrated. |
