Author, historian, and educator William J. Bennett examines
America's last two decades. Twenty years ago, John McCain
was serving his second year in the Senate, and Colin Powell
had just been promoted to chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff. There was no Fox News Channel, no American Idol.
Saddam Hussein and the Ayatollah Ruholla Khomeni ruled Iraq
and Iran, respectively. George W. Bush was the fairly
unnoticeable son of the then-president. If you asked someone
to "email me," you would have received a blank stare, and
"Amazon" was a forest in South America. Finally, 20 years
ago a young man named Barack Obama was elected the first
black president of the Harvard Law Review. The two decades
from 1988 to 2008 have proved to be some of the most pivotal
in America's history. Based on a lifetime of experience in
government and education, William J. Bennett defines the
events that shaped American history during the final years
of the century.
