1.1959: The Year Everything Changed1959: The Year Everything Changed
from Wiley
Price: $15.82

Customer Review:

from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $21.10

Customer Review:
Keven Starr's Golden Dreams suffers from the fault any nonfiction historical series seems to have. Mr. Starr forgets he has already told the story before, and we read deja vu all over again. Starr's account of the 60's does not sufficiently describe the counterculture. That can be explained by his... more info

Customer Review:
In Wait Till Next Year, Doris Kearns Goodwin revisits her own childhood in 1950s Brooklyn. There are eight chapters, each more or less dedicated to one year of her youth.
