The Fifties (1993) Signed First Edition Reference

The Fifties (Villard Books, 1993) is Halberstam’s sweeping narrative of the 1950s — covering everything from the Korean War and McCarthyism to the birth of rock and roll, the civil rights movement, suburban development, television’s rise, and the automobile culture that reshaped American life. At 800 pages, it’s Halberstam at his most ambitious and panoramic.
