Book Review

More Equal Than Others: America from Nixon to the New Century. By Godfrey Hodgson. (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2004. xxvi, 379 pp. $29.95, ISBN 0-691-11788-8.)

This is a well-researched attempt at summarizing the history of the United States during the last quarter of the twentieth century, covering the years between the fall of Richard M. Nixon and the presidential administration of George W. Bush. Godfrey Hodgson wishes to argue against what he sees as the central myth of this period, that it has been a time "of universal prosperity at home and cost-free triumph abroad" (p. xvii); instead, the years between Nixon and Bush reflected a period of "disappointment and denial" (ibid.).
