After overviewing the upbeat US postwar interlude from 1945-49, Schwartz (English, Florida International U.) surveys the dramatic transformations the country underwent during the pivotal decade of the 1950s in the context of a new world order. Drawing on primary sources, coverage spans the angst-filled early Cold War era, the "I like Ike" new leadership in Washington, and developments in civil rights, science/technology, business, the arts, and other aspects of society. Chapters include a chronicle of events and period photos. Appends documents, biographies of major personalities, and maps related to Cold War conflicts, Korea, and the Suez Canal crisis. Like Halberstam ( The Fifties , 1993), Schwartz dispels the placid image of this decade. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
