The Fifties in America, Volume III: Jackie Robinson-Youth Culture and the Generation Gap

by R. Kent Rasmussen

"Surveys the events and people of all of North America during the 1950s, an era which is often portrayed as uneventful--a period of political and cultural conservatism. The decade was in fact a period of political turbulence, mounting world conflict, and cultural change, including the Cold War, McCarthyism, and a trend toward the suppression of civil liberties"--]cProvided by publisher.
