Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Herbert London's new work "Decade of Denial" places America in the 1990s under the microscope and discovers a country paying a heavy price for the excesses of the past, crippled by the cultural attitudes and rebelliousness of the sixties and seventies. London argues that the baby boomer generation has replaced openness with stealth, and honesty with deceit. Far from mere nostalgic musings for a simpler time, "Decade of Denial" wonderfully captures the zeitgeist of the 1990s from the "dumbing down" of education to the proliferation of crass popular culture. This is an essential book for serious readers of American cultural history seeking to understand the evolution of modern 'manners' and 'morals,' and an indictment of a generation freed from the constraints of virtue.
