An engaging short history of events in 1959 which forewarned about much bigger upheavals in the ensuing years for the USA. A good social history. I particularly enjoyed the chapters regarding jazz and modern art! A very good index and endnotes follow in this book. Good bibliographical source for further reading or for commencing a collection of books and other documents for the era.
