If you have lived through a few decades, then you know that for some reason, the past repeats itself. During the 1940s and 1950s, at the beginning of the Cold War, America became a country scared of communism. WWII had just ended, and the USSR (as Russia was known then) was taking over Eastern Europe, the Keoran War had started, and there was a move to take over China, it was the perfect storm for the Red Scare.

pickAnother good book by Erik Larson. When you read one of his books, you are sure to learn a lot. He researches his books like no one else does.

The second half I found a bit boring and laborers to get though. I'm not denying the importance of the subject matter, it was just that I didn't really feel a connection to it.
pickDeconstructing the idea that Africans in America are a monolith, 90 brilliant writers contribute to the extraordinary four-hundred-year journey of African Americans.
A stunning accomplishment and a must read for a true understanding of American history and its present.
