Arguing that it was one of the most important of the postwar twentieth-century decades, despite its reputation as an eminently forgettable period, Schulman reconstructs public events and private lives, high culture and low, analyzing not only presidential politics and national policy but also the broader social and cultural experiences that transformed American life. Here are the names, faces, and movements that gave birth to the world we now live in-from Nixon and Carter to "The Godfather" and the Ramones; from Billie Jean King and Phyllis Schlafly to NOW and the ERA; from the Energy Crisis to Roe v. Wade. "The Seventies" is an astutely provocative reexamination of a misunderstood era.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Bruce J. Schulman</b> is the William E.
