About the Author:
John Patrick Diggins is the author of The Rise and Fall of the American Left and The Proud Decades: 1941–1960, in addition to biographies of John Adams and Max Weber. He is a distinguished professor of history at the City University of New York Graduate Center. He lives in New York City.
From Library Journal:
Using thematic chapters, Diggins (history, University of California, Irvine) surveys the history of the 1940s and 1950s, from Pearl Harbor, which called the end to any pretense of U.S. isolationism, through the election of JFK. The author focuses on such issues as the Cold War, domestic politics, popular culture and the arts, and the fledgling Civil Rights movement, confronting revisionist historians' writings while interweaving their findings with more traditional interpretations to produce a satisfying synthesis. Diggins concludes that the post-War era was not entirely passive but more typical of the American experience than the violent 1960s. For most libraries.Steven D. Zink, Univ. of Nevada Libs., Reno
