Publisher's Synopsis
The Passing of Normalcy, written by Charles W. Wood, is a book that explores the changes and challenges faced by the United States in the aftermath of World War II. The book delves into the social, political, and economic transformations that took place during this time period, including the rise of consumerism, the emergence of a new middle class, and the impact of technology on American society.Wood argues that these changes marked a shift away from the traditional values and norms of American society, and that this shift had significant consequences for the country's future. He examines the ways in which these changes affected different groups of people, including women, minorities, and the working class.The Passing of Normalcy is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of the post-war era in America, and it provides valuable insights into the forces that shaped the country during this pivotal period in its history.1929.
