Garson & Bailey, The Uncertain Power - A Political History The United States Since 1929, Marchus & Burner, Eds., America Since 1945

Abstract

Robert Garson and Christopher Bailey explain in their introduction that they are writing primarily for an audience of British university students. They acknowledge that they have not written a comprehensive volume. Rather they have chosen to focus on political history, limiting detailed treatment to "those issues that lingered and molded public policy in future years." The Uncertain Power is indeed a short survey.
