(4) YA Encyclopedia-quality prose reviews a single decade in American life. The volume succinctly examines serious issues such as the Korean War, the burgeoning civil rights movement, and the Cold War, but also touches on entertainment (television, movies, theater, and music) and presents an overview of sports throughout the 1950s. The accompanying photos are, fittingly, in black and white. A timeline is included. Bib., ind.
