Review Quotes: "This is a fascinating book about a fascinating time-the early 1960's. Rorabaugh blends cultural, social and political history in a most incisive way. Andy Warhol, John Kenneth Galbraith, Allen Ginsberg, and Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.-all contributed to this bridge between what are labeled the 'Fifties' and the 'Sixties.' Rorabaugh avoids both adulation and condemnation to view these years in a clear-sighted, honest way. He sums up this by saying, 'Golden it was not; promising it was.' That says it all." John Milton Cooper, Jr., author of Breaking the Heart of the World: Woodrow Wilson and the Fight for the League of Nations
