The Transformational Decade shows the transformation that took
place in American life from the attack on the World Trade Center to
the emergence of the Obama presidency. It is not a strict history,
but rather snapshots of a decade that has fundamentally altered
perceptions of the United States. In some respects, this book is
modeled after Frederick Lewis Allen's Only Yesterday and Since
Yesterday, acclaimed books that sought to capture the spirit of the
1920s and '30s. London sees the period from 2001 to 2008 as "post
yesterday," a period that broke with the past, challenged the
essence of the free market, and contested America's role on the
world stage. In an effort to limn these snapshots from recent
history, London has written several "decade" books: The Overheated
Decade, The Counterfeit Decade, and The Decade of Denial. This
book, The Transformational Decade, differs in that it represents a
separation from the past. London illuminates a decade that he
considers to be a new and more frightful period than any in recent
American history.
