Lately, I've been interested in recent American history and have committed myself to reading a book on each decade starting in the 50s. So far, I've read:
The Fifties, by David Halberstam
A Hard Rain: America in the 1960s, by Frye Gaillard
The Seventies, by Bruce Schulman
The Nineties, by Chuck Klosterman
Despite it being such a popular decade, I can't seem to find a comperable book dedicated to the 1980s. The Eighties, a Reader by Gilbert Sewall isn't quite what I'm looking for, and neither is Back to Our Future by David Sirota.
I'm specifically looking for a general historical and cultural overview of the eighties. Does such a book exist?
