Reviews

The volume is comprehensive in breadth and depth of entries. The authors are explicit in outlining the volume's purpose and use, with a thoughtfully written introduction and concise but instructive directions for its application. . . .Students in AP history and in Common Core history classes should find the volume to be an excellent and well-organized guide to the development of the U.S. in the 1950s. * ARBAonline *
