Publication[edit]
[]
Hofstadter and Woodward did not originally plan for the Oxford History of the United States to include a volume on postwar history but added one to a list of projected volumes in 1970, initially commissioning historian William Leuchtenburg to write the volume and later replacing Leuchtenburg with James T. Patterson.[1]
Oxford University Press published Grand Expectations: The United States, 1945–1974 in February 1996,[2] releasing it as a clothbound hardcover.[3] The book is 847 pages long.[4] On release, Grand Expectations sold for $35 (USD, equivalent to $68 in 2023).[5]
Content[edit]
Grand Expectations is a narrative history of the United States from 1945 to 1975.
The book includes an index, maps, and illustrations.[2]
Reception[edit]
[]
Charles Alexander called Grand Expectations "the finest general history so far on the postwar United States".[6]
According to David Adams, Patterson's tone at times understates the severity of events that were "immense traumas", such as the second Red Scare.[7]
In 1997, Patterson received a Bancroft Prize for writing Grand Expectations.[8]
