The Naughty Nineties: The Triumph of the American Libido (Twelve), by Vanity Fair's David Friend, is a sweeping assessment of the decade that finally snuffed America's Puritan ethic. From Bill Clinton to the Bobbitts, The Vagina Monologues to the man cave, with the birth of the Web and reality TV, the Brazilian bikini wax, Viagra, and much more, no one has put it together quite like this. Written with great brio and a tenacious attention to detail, this ebullient book builds to an inevitable climax: Trump. Friend shows us exactly how it happened.
