Something Happened - by Edward Berkowitz (Paperback)

The 1970s were a transformative time in American history, marked by economic uncertainty, political upheaval, and social change.

In "Something Happened," Edward D.

Berkowitz provides a comprehensive and engaging account of this pivotal decade.

From the decline of the steel industry to the rise of Bill Gates, and from Saturday Night Fever to the Sunday morning fervor of evangelical preachers, Berkowitz explores the major political events and movements that shaped America in the 1970s. This book offers a unique perspective on an important but previously unappreciated decade, arguing that the postwar faith in sweeping social programs and global U.S.

mission was replaced by a more skeptical attitude toward government's ability to affect society positively.

Berkowitz traces the "rights revolution," in which women, gays and lesbians, and people with disabilities all successfully fought for greater recognition.

He also examines the rise of powerful, politically conservative religious organizations and activists in response to these social movements, as well as the issue of abortion. With its focus on the decade's most significant events and trends, "Something Happened" is an essential read for anyone looking to understand the complexities of 1970s America.

Whether you're a history buff, political junkie, or simply interested in learning more about this fascinating period in American history, this book is sure to captivate and inform.
