In 1957, America turned its back on its earlier self and jumped
headlong into the nation it has become today. From Sputnik and the
beginning of the space race to Little Richard and the
underappreciated influence of rock n' roll in bringing blacks and
whites closer together, to President Eisenhower's Interstate
Highway Act, which forever changed the landscape, 1957 represents
the year when all of the energy and anxiety that had followed the
end of World War II exploded. In compelling stories from politics,
pop culture, business, and the media, Eric Burns captures the
excitement of a headspinning year and the lingering fallout that
continues to resonate seven decades later. For baby boomers seeking
to relive their formative years or readers seeking a window into
midcentury America, 1957 provides a highly readable tour through
one of the most fascinating years in American history.
