FIFTIES, THE(ISBN=9780449909331) pdf 在线 2025 epub 免费 书籍 下载

　　In retrospect, writes David Halberstam, "the pace of the

fifties seemed slower, almost languid. Social ferment, however, was

beginning just beneath this placid surface." He shows how the

United States began to emerge from the long shadow of FDR's 12-year

presidency, with the military-industrial complex and the Beat

movement simultaneously growing strong. Television brought not only

situation comedies but controversial congressional hearings into

millions of living rooms. While Alfred Kinsey was studying people's

sex lives, Gregory Pincus and other researchers began work on a

pill that would forever alter the course of American reproductive

practices. Halberstam takes on these social upheavals and more,

charting a course that is as easy to navigate as it is

wide-ranging.

书籍介绍

The Fifties is a sweeping social, political, economic, and cultural history of the ten years that Halberstam regards as seminal in determining what our nation is today. Halberstam offers portraits of not only the titans of the age: Eisenhower Dulles, Oppenheimer, MacArthur, Hoover, and Nixon, but also of Harley Earl, who put fins on cars; Dick and Mac McDonald and Ray Kroc, who mass-produced the American hamburger; Kemmons Wilson, who placed his Holiday Inns along the nation's roadsides; U-2 pilot Gary Francis Powers; Grace Metalious, who wrote Peyton Place; and "Goody" Pincus, who led the team that invented the Pill.
