Black Dog & Leventhal Publishers, Inc New York, 2013.— 836 p. — ISBN13: 978-1-57912-933-0.Every decade seems momentous to the people who are living through it. In that sense, all decades are created equal, but some are more equal
than others. The 1980’s can rightly claim to be one of the most equal of the 20th century. There were no world wars, the defining cataclysms of the teens and the 40’s. But the signal events of the 1980’s transformed lives across the globe and continue to reverberate today.
