Description

From the forgotten battlefields of Korea to the fall of Saigon, the quarter century from 1950 to 1975 transformed America more than any era since the Civil War. These 100 large print word search puzzles and 10 historical vignettes bring every chapter of this extraordinary period roaring back to life. The Korean War sent American troops to the frozen hills of the Pusan Perimeter and the bloody ridges of Heartbreak Ridge, yet came home to a nation that barely acknowledged their sacrifice. The Forgotten War deserves to be remembered. Eisenhower brought calm prosperity, interstate highways, and suburban dreams, but beneath the surface, McCarthyism gripped Washington and the seeds of the civil rights revolution were already taking root in Montgomery, Alabama. The Cold War cast its shadow over everything. From the Berlin Wall to the Cuban Missile Crisis, two superpowers stood at the brink of nuclear annihilation while spies, satellites, and diplomats waged a shadow war across every continent. A young president challenged America to reach the moon, launched the Peace Corps, and faced down Soviet missiles in Cuba before an assassin's bullet in Dallas changed everything on November 22, 1963. The civil rights movement marched from Montgomery to Birmingham to Selma, enduring fire hoses, attack dogs, and bombings to win the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act and reshape the conscience of a nation. Vietnam divided a generation. Over 2.7 million Americans served, 58,000 never came home, and the antiwar movement brought millions into the streets from college campuses to the steps of the Pentagon. Nixon opened China, created the EPA, and won a 49-state landslide before Watergate unraveled everything and forced the first presidential resignation in American history on August 9, 1974. The Space Race captivated the world from Sputnik to Apollo 11, when Neil Armstrong's "one small step" on July 20, 1969, fulfilled a young president's impossible promise. Each of the 10 themed sections opens with an engaging historical vignette that sets the scene before you dive into the puzzles.
