Rosey of Robbinsdale reviewed The fifties by David Halberstam
Review of 'The fifties' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Much like Tom Brokaws' The Greatest Generation, this book tells the stories of what made America what it is today. The political tensions, the change in music, the start of something called a hotel-chain, and the beginning of suburbs. How television took over the prestige of newspapers and radio and changed how Americans came to vote on elections. Tells of how the civil rights struggle became a "movement" and the beginning of the Cold War.
