Publisher Notes
Draws on tabloid journalism, popular fiction, movies, and television, in an exploration of the confluence of panics, scares, and a few genuine threats that created a climate of fear that lead to America's conservative reaction to a decade of radicalism and an ascent into the landscape of the political Right.
Media Reviews
"What...DECADE OF NIGHTMARES...clearly [does] is leave the reader with a palpable sense of how the legacy of the '70s (or the anti-60s, as Mr. Jenkins terms the post-1975 years) reverberates to this day in America."
