Book Overview
Dwight David Eisenhower, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Beatniks, Marilyn Monroe, the suburbs, and Sputnik are just a few of the many people, things, and events that helped shape this decade, a period of great contrast in American life. Often seen as the period of poodle skirts, family values, and the birth of rock 'n' roll, this time period was much more. Author Stephen Feinstein examines the decade that not only introduced the world to Elvis Presley and DNA, but was also a time marked by air-raid drills and a fear of Communist spies.
