Book Review of The Fifties

The Fifties
The Fifties
Author: David Halberstam
Genre: History
Book Type: Paperback
reviewed on + 11 more book reviews


This was without a doubt the best and most enjoyable book I ever read. I have since read many other Halberstam books. Having lived through the fifties, then reading about all the various events and creations of that time was an eye opening experience. I was absolutely struck by the WOW effect and could not wait for the next scenario. Hated to reach the end and will read it again before I leave. Any reader will be amazed at the things that came about during the FIFTIES.
