Résumé

Who were those American soldiers who gave up their lives on June 6, 1944, to land on the beaches of Normandy ? What were their thoughts, what was their story and what was their background ? The Dawn of the American Century 1919-1944 draws on a wealth of documents provided by major American and European institutions to explore the multiple faces of the country where these men grew up. Men who fought for freedom, shaped by a country that for all its vibrant creativity was no stranger to crisis and unrest—an America destined to become the leader of the free world despite its tendency to isolationism.
Roaring Twenties, Depression, Recovery : this book plunges the reader into the heart of the tumultuous Twenties, packed with literary and movie references that shed new light on a pivotal period in American history.
