1990s
The 1990s crackle with the energy of a world in flux—grunge and globalization, political scandal and social upheaval, the last gasps of the Cold War order giving way to something rawer and stranger. Books in this section capture that restless decade through courtroom dramas, personal reckonings, and stories of power, corruption, and survival from Los Angeles to Moscow to Rwanda.
