A great visual journey through time,

This review is from: The American Dream: The 50's (Our American Century) (Hardcover)
i'm a thirteen year old girl who had to use this book for a resourse in a history project for this decade. at first i thought the fifties were very boring and sugar coated. i took what i needed from the book and returned it. i went back to the library a month later for more books and saw this one again. i opened it and saw amazing pictures of athletes, comedians, civil rights activists, tv stars and more. i learned how real the fifties were, and how it changed america. this book is a great coffee table book as well as resourse. get this book as well as the other books in the series before the millenium!!

This review is from: The American Dream: The 50's (Our American Century) (Hardcover)
A complete walk down memory lane. Except for the Red Scare and Atomic War fear, the fifties seem like utopia compared to today. This book is a must have for boomers.
