"Very interesting book that looks at the causes and affects of events that took part in the 5o's and helped shape our world. Each chapter is on a different event or topic."
"I really liked this book. I used to own it, and it ended up with an ex of mine. I miss the book more than I miss the ex. The kicker here is that I know it's still in the trunk of his car and that he never did- and probably never will- read it."
"Helped me understand what my parents young adult life was like, and the earliest part of my childhood that I don't remember. My default reaction to books like this one is positive, but for anyone over 40 an curious to get a sense for what life was like for the generation that made all of this possible, you ought to read it.
After you do, you will no longer wonder why your mother or grandmother is still a bit confused by cell phones and computers!"
"I read this book and loved it. I enjoy understand the foundations of the world we live in today and understanding the highway origins its effects, suburbia, levitttown, etc. It was all terribly interesting."
