William Manchester's Glory and Dream —— To be exact, Glory and Dream is not like a financial book, but a dynastic history of the United States. The author gives a grand and detailed description of all classes of American society during the forty years from 1932 to 1972.
In the early 1970s, the first edition of Glory and Dreams aroused strong repercussions in the United States and the world, and was well received by major American newspapers. 1979, the Commercial Press published a simplified Chinese version of this book. It was forbidden at first, and only internal communication was allowed. Later, it was gradually liberalized, which had a far-reaching impact on domestic readers, especially intellectuals, and also greatly affected the writing techniques of a large number of domestic journalists. These influences still play a positive role today.
Every country in the world has its own development process. "Glory and Dream" introduces how the United States got out of the predicament and depression, and then evolved into a superpower. The description of American political, military, economic, cultural and social life in the book still has high reference value for today's readers. Now we re-publish this book in the hope that more people can understand this period of American history through it, and then have a deeper understanding of contemporary American society.
