This book is a fast-paced narrative with all the detail you need to understand the philosophical origins of the Cold War and MLK's nonviolence. There is discussion of liberal, centrist, and conservative writers, scholars, and policy-makers. This book is great for U.S. History teachers to supplement their survey texts.

1941-1960, from Pearl Harbor through the Presidential election of 1960, a serious exploration of the political and cultural forces affecting American life in the mid- 20th century. Especially interesting for discussion of post-World War II and the Cold War. Includes several iconic photographs of the age. Well indexed and sources documented.
