Nineteen ninety-five was an exceptional year, a hinge moment in
recent American history. Drawing on interviews, oral histories,
memoirs, archival collections, and contemporaneous news reports, W.
Joseph Campbell presents a vivid, detail-rich portrait of those
memorable twelve months. The book offers fresh interpretations of
the decisive moments of 1995, including the entry of the Internet
and the World Wide Web into the mainstream of American life; the
bombing at Oklahoma City, the deadliest attack of domestic
terrorism in U.S. history; the sensational "Trial of the Century,"
at which O.J. Simpson faced charges of double murder; the
U.S.-brokered negotiations at Dayton, Ohio, which ended the Bosnian
War, Europe's most vicious conflict since the time of the Nazis;
and the first encounters at the White House between Bill Clinton
and Monica Lewinsky, a liaison that culminated in a stunning
scandal and the spectacle of the president's impeachment and trial.
As Campbell demonstrates in this absorbing chronicle, 1995 was a
year of surpassing exceptionality, a watershed at the cusp of the
millennium. The effects of that pivotal year reverberate still,
marking the close of one century and the dawning of another.
