54043X1 Third Printing. Villard Books, New York: 1993. 801 pages. Hardcover with dustjacket. Reading copy. Here is a pivotal view of the twentieth century's pivotal decade. The Fifties is a sweeping social, political, economic, and cultural history of the ten years that David Halberstam regards as seminal in determining what our nation is today. It is the decade of Joe McCarthy and the young Martin Luther King, the Korean War and Levittown, Jack Kerouac and Elvis Presley. On this broad canvas, we see a society in which there is a growing challenge to the old order, much of this upheaval produced by critical changes in technology. Includes an Index.
