Books That Shaped the 80s

Hold your boombox in the air for the 1980s... surely the most photogenic decade in history.
It was the decade 24-hour news was born and the Cold War died. The decade Diana became a princess, Prince Rogers Nelson became just Prince; greed got good (for a while) and poverty got worse. There was a Very Important war over an island somewhere near Argentina, and a pop concert to relieve a famine in Africa.
