The Nineties: A Book

3.75 stars. This was very enjoyable, and a lesson in not judging a book by its (terrible) cover: it is sharply written and clearly well researched. As a Gen X-er much of it rang true and there were some brilliant insights and many laughs. It focuses exclusively on the US (fair enough, but the title might seem to promise a wider perspective) with even American foreign policy rarely getting a look-in, other than an account of the Gulf War.

This is the first thing I've read by this author and it made me keen to read some of his other work.
