The sixth and final volume in the History of Wisconsinseries examines the period from 1940-1965, in which state and nation struggled to maintain balance and traditions. Some of the major developments analyzed in this volume include: coping with three wars, racial and societal conflict, technological innovation, population shifts to and from cities and suburbs, and accompanying stress in politics, government, and society as a whole. Using dozens of photographs to visually illustrate this period in the state's history, this volume upholds the high standards set forth in the previous volumes.Thompson, William F. is the author of 'History of Wisconsin Continuity and Change, 1940-1965' with ISBN 9780870202544 and ISBN 0870202545.
