NOTES: |
Explores the history of the 1950s through investigation of three generations--those who came of age in the 1920s and were middle-aged in the fifties; young people who came of age in the middle decade; and radicals who came of age in the 1930s, making up the American leftists who were targets of anti-communist sentiments of the 1950s. |
