Description: A wide-ranging exploration of the culture of American politics in the early decades of the Cold War
Review Quotes:
"This strong collection of essays . . . represents the benefits of cross-fertilization among social, cultural, and political historians of postwar America. A well-edited, smartly chosen collection of essays, Liberty and Justice for All? deserves to be widely read and taught."--Journal of American History
"Illuminating essays . . . thought-provoking . . . kaleidoscopic."--Journal of American Studies"An excellent, well-written, and very fresh look at the long 1950s from a variety of different and interesting perspectives. Taken as a whole, the essays raise a host of questions about our standard narrative of the postwar era, the Cold War era and its dour man in the gray flannel suit domesticity story. And many of them provide some intriguing answers to questions that have scarcely even been raised by other historians."--James B. Gilbert, coeditor of Rethinking Cold War Culture
