Book Reviews of The Fifties
Book Review: A wonderful one-volume narrative of a critical decade
Summary: 5 Stars
Mr. Halberstam delievers a wonderful one-volume account of a decade which introduces many of the arenas of which Americans dealt with from the 1960's to the present and will deal with into the 21st century. His chapter on the mistakes of the American automobile industry during this decade gives us a valuable insight into why the "Big 3" suffered during the 1980s and are still fighting for turf. His book nicely explains how the political and socio-economic cultures were set-up during the post-World World II era. I highly recommend this book for someone who is interested in a good read with decent depth on this decade.
