À propos de ce contenu audio
This great time capsule of a book captures the abundant popular history of the United States from 1932 to 1972. It encompasses politics, military history, economics, the lively arts, science, fashion, fads, social change, sexual mores, communications, graffiti...everything and anything indigenous that can be captured in print.
The Glory and the Dream chronicles the progress of life in the United States, from the time William Manchester and his generation reached the beginning of awareness in the desperate summer of '32 to President Nixon's Second Inaugural Address and the opening scenes of Watergate. Masterfully compressing four crowded decades of our history, Manchester relives the epic, significant, or just memorable events that befell the generation of Americans whose lives pivoted between the America before and the America after the Second World War.

However, his production is not equal. Sometimes, few books are rather poor...
Concerning "Glory & Dream", inspite its overall interest it's pure chatting. It seems that you're listening a radio broadcasting which is not unpleasant ; only the reading is...
Anyway, it's far too long : 20 Hours maximum should have been the absolute time limit.
The chapters are also inequal in quality. Some are good ; other less.
The performance of Jeff Riggenbach is the main point : his narration & pace are excellent !
Without him, I doubt I would listen this too long tale.
But I keep going, knowing it leads nowhere !
Good enough !
