Ever wonder why we skip over parts of history so easily, in particular those parts just before major Crisis periods? The Unraveling, also known as the Third Turning, gives a generational reason for why this happens - why it's difficult to make sense of the period leading up the Fourth Turning - and a suggestion on how to understand these periods better.

The official Strauss & Howe description of the Third Turning comes from this Lifecourse page on all four turnings and how they work.

I'd previously written about Lindbergh and his place in history (and as an exemplar of Third Turning achievements) here:
