Description
The Eisenhower Era, 1952-1961 is a period marked by efforts to "hold the line" against various challenges. In this book, Charles C. Alexander examines the domestic and foreign policies of the time, as well as economic, social, intellectual, and cultural aspects.
Alexander scrutinizes key features of the fifties, including McCarthyism, the Korean conflict, global alliances, early involvement in Vietnam, the economic boom, the rise of giant conglomerates, Black protest, urban crises, and the impact of mass media on popular culture. This book offers a lively and scholarly exploration of American history since the Second World War.
