"Rose has written a provocative book that illuminates the 1950s. He contends that three major factors influenced and changed the US in 1950 . . . nuclear confrontation with Russia . . . McCarthyism . . . [and] war in Korea. His argument is persuasive and his research is sound, but many will still challenge his contentions. In the end, readers will have to decide for themselves."--Choice
"A fresh retelling of many of the best-known phenomena of the 1950s."--Times Literary Supplement
"Above all it is a powerful warning against demagogues who exploit hysteria and paranoia in the masses for political purposes."--Michigan Historical Review
"This is a smart, controversial book that makes us look at the Cold War from a dozen different angles. Brimming with originality and graced with a lively writing style, it is a major contribution to the diplomatic, military, and cultural history of our times."--Douglas Brinkley, author of Dean Acheson: The Cold War Years
"Rose is a marvelous writer with an eye for the significant detail, the revealing turn of phrase, the telling incident that helps one to gain an appreciation for the contemporary mood that we've forgotten or never understood."--Chester Pach, author of The Presidency of Dwight D. Eisenhower
