The Fifties: An Underground History by James R. Gaines

challenging informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

3.5

Overall not bad, there were some parts that I found to be incorrect (I.e. said Sen. Pat McCarran was a Republican - he was a lifelong Democrat). But was a good base level history of some influential figures. I struggled to understand what truly happened in the 50s and what was pre or post dating that era so that felt somewhat confusing throughout. But I think the author got to the essence of why they influenced the era that succeeded the fifties nonetheless.
