The Fifties is a sweeping social, political, economic, and cultural
history of the ten years that Halberstam regards as seminal in
determining what our nation is today. Halberstam offers portraits
of not only the titans of the age: Eisenhower Dulles, Oppenheimer,
MacArthur, Hoover, and Nixon, but also of Harley Earl, who put fins
on cars; Dick and Mac McDonald and Ray Kroc, who mass-produced the
American hamburger; Kemmons Wilson, who placed his Holiday Inns
along the nation's roadsides; U-2 pilot Gary Francis Powers; Grace
Metalious, who wrote Peyton Place; and "Goody" Pincus, who led the
team that invented the Pill.
