Decade of Denial: A Snapshot of America in the 1990s

This work places the 1990s under the microscope and discovers a country paying heavily for its past. It reveals a decade of denial, inhabited by cultural attitudes crippled by the rebelliousness of the 1960s and 1970s. From the President of the United States down, the author argues that the baby boomer generation has replaced openess with stealth, and honesty with deceit. Decade of Denial captures the zeitgeist of the 1990s from the dumbing down of education to the crass popular culture and the descent of modern day standards. This book should be of use to readers of American cultural history seeking to understand the evolution of modern manners and morals .
