At the beginning of the 1952 presidential election season it was widely assumed it would be a race between President Harry Truman and Senator Robert Taft. This is the story of how it turned out differently and the impact it would have on the following decade.

Goes beyond the cliches of the '60s and synthesizes thirty years of research, writing, and teaching on one of the most turbulent decades of the twentieth century. It sketches the well-known players of the period, bringing each to life with subtle detail; introduces readers to lesser-known incidents of the decade; and offers fresh and persuasive insights on many of its watershed events.
