This is who we were: in the 1980s / edited by Grey House Publishing.
This new addition to the This is Who We Were series provides the reader with a deeper understanding of day-to-day life in America from 1980 to 1989. Readers will uncover how American life was affected by the fall of the Berlin Wall, the rise of the Computer Age, and Reagan-era prosperity and decadence. Collecting information from government surveys, social worker histories, economic data, family diaries, letters, newspapers, and magazine features, This is Who We Were: In The 1980s assembles a remarkable personal and realistic look into Americas past. This new volume features 26 profiles of people living and working during the 1980s, painting a complete picture of what it was like to live in America in this period. These stories portray both struggling and successful Americans from various economic classes, occupations, and regions across the country, capturing a wide range of thoughts and emotions. -- http://www.greyhouse.com/1980s.htm
