This book looks at American life during a pivotal time (1950-2024) in American history: the Turn. It covers the postwar booms, social movements, the Reagan revolution, the Gulf wars, the war on terror as well as counterculture, protest movements, and the election of two unique presidents.

The Turn looks at 75 years from the perspective of social change and modes of thought and the concomitant tension, conflict, and controversy that disaffected Americans who, despite their best efforts to live normal lives, could not escape from a miasma of discontent. The wars, the violence associated with protests, financial crises, and a global pandemic, all came at great human cost to many Americans families.

This book looks at effects of these occurrences on American society: examining such topics as illiberal religions, the corrupt media, the trappings of greed in politics, globalism, the woke culture; the role of film, television, and music; and more.
