    The Cold War, Sputnik, Joseph McCarthy, Fidel Castro, the Rosenbergs, Marilyn Monroe, Rosa Parks, "Father Knows Best," and "Rebel Without a Cause" are just a few of the events, people, and cultural phenomena that marked the decade of the 1950s. This book - a collection of two hundred large-scale duotone photographs of the 1950s culled from the New York Times photo archives - brings this watershed period to life and examines who and what was important and why.

    Images of the decade of my birth still resonate and are relevant. Closing in on a century ago, it is amazing how many lessons remain unlearned. When I see the images, I hear the soundtrack of those times and the yet unwritten refrains of the sixties that will follow. This is a keeper! Thank you @Nikon4life
