Several histories of the United States since the close of World War II have recently appeared, and in Since 1945: Politics and Diplomacy in Recent American History, Robert A. Divine has produced one of the best. Attempting to summarize the often controversial administrations of Presidents Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon in 215 pages, the work is necessarily a survey. The author admits that he has narrowed his consideration to "the twin themes of the Cold War abroad and the reform impulse at home," and he examines only the major policies and programs of each presidential administration: demobilization and the avoidance of a postwar recession, the Cold War and containment, Eisenhower's Modern Republicanism and his goal of government retrenchment, Sputnik and our uncertain relations with the Soviet Union in the late 1950's, the high expectations and limited accomplishments of the New Frontier, the brilliant achievements of Lyndon Johnson's Great Society and his tragic downfall in Vietnam, and Richard Nixon's opening of d6tente with the Communist world and his final disgrace at Watergate. All necessary names, dates and facts are included but the narrative is never encumbered by needless or irrelevant details.
