Books like Then everything changed by Jeff Greenfield


In "Then Everything Changed," CBS senior political correspondent Jeff Greenfield presents a meticulously researched alternative history of America. Drawing on memoirs, oral histories, fresh reporting, and firsthand knowledge of prominent political figures, Greenfield examines how small moments—such as a suicide bomber’s pause in 1960, Robert F. Kennedy’s sudden departure in 1968, or President Ford’s debate misstep in 1976—could have dramatically shifted presidential elections and the nation’s trajectory. The book offers detailed, plausible scenarios that illuminate the fragile nature of history. Greenfield’s work is grounded in primary sources and offers readers a close look at the interplay between chance and decision in U.S. politics from 1945 through the late 1980s.

The Future of Us All by 6594062|Roger Sanjek book cover

📘 The Future of Us All
 by Roger Sanjek

Before the next century is out, Americans of African, Asian, and Latin American ancestry will outnumber those of European origin. In the Elmhurst-Corona neighborhood of Queens, New York City, the transition occurred during the 1970s, and the area's two-decade experience of multiracial diversity offers us an early look at the future of urban America. The book examines the ways in which residents - in everyday interactions, block and tenant associations, houses of worship, small business coalitions, civic rituals, incidents of ethnic and racial hostility, and political struggles for more schools, for youth programs, and against over-development - have forged and tested alliances across lines of race, ethnicity, and language.
