All Shook Up: A Flash of the Fifties

by Joseph Connolly

In the peace and prosperity of the post-war period, a cultural revolution broke rock 'n roll was here to stay and restless youth exploded with energy. Celebrate the 1950s through evocative, extraordinary photographs and witty, incisive text. Coming alive are the decade's most popular TV shows; dancers letting the good times roll; and the fads, fashions, beatniks, bohemians, celebrities, cinematic successes, and defining gizmos, gadgets, signs, and ads. You'll understand why a whole lot of shakin' was going on!

Informal text from the perspective of a Brit looking back at growing up in the 50s. The large pictures were the best part of the book.
