Great book for reaserchers and interested others.

This book is full of information about many aspects of the 1950s, and a great resource for researching a school project or for anyone with an interest in the 1950s.

Great!

This anthology presents a wide variety of interesting info on all the decades that I used as one of my primary resources for information to do a project for my junior history class on the 1950's and 1960's. The writing is clear and concise but also keeps it interesting... I highly recommend these books!
