Antiwar sentiment led to mass youth protests, which occasionally turned deadly. With the Soviet Union breaking up in the late 1980s, the United States was the sole superpower. But it quickly became the target of Islamist terrorism, as 9/11, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the War on Terror came to define the first two decades of the new millennium. At home, violence convulsed Waco, Oklahoma City, and Los Angeles, while gun massacres became a numbingly familiar occurrence. The troubled recent history of the United States is told with great attention to historic detail and with the help of an abundance of primary source materials. 521 2 $a Grades 7-12. 650 0 $a United States $x -Juvenile literature. $x 1945 $x -Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Vietnam War, 1961-1975 $x Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a War on Terrorism, 2001-2009 $x Juvenile literature. 941 $a 2 952 $l VBPC034 $d 20180730141335.0 952 $l HIPC765 $d 20180724010124.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EB81A69E8F0611E8AA57440E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
