Another Part of Fifties

5/5 ( ratings)

The fifties--merely a confused prelude to the grandeur of Camelot, or a decade with an identity all its own? A period of determined anti0intellectualism and stagnation, or an era of thoughtful rationalism that left behind a legacy of humanity and hope? This book rescues this much maligned decade from the oblivion to which it has undeservedly been consigned. The author argues that the fifties had a richness, both political and cultural, that we are only now beginning to appreciate. The post-war era also ushered in an economic powerhouse that provided new prosperity and opportunities.
