“Fascinating...a cabinet of wonders... Those who love the AMC series Mad Men, set just after the epochal year, will find much to love in Kaplan's book."
Los Angeles Times
“Clever...Fun...Kaplan makes an intriguing case that 1959 was an authentic annus mirabilis."
The Wall Street Journal
"Enormously engaging...Kaplan is wonderful at chronicling what changed and how."
The Washington Post
"Immensely enjoyable reading...A first-rate book."
GEORGE PACKER, The New Yorker
"This sprawling, holistic joy of a book explores, expands, and provokes reassessment of an entire era—not just a year—in a way that is deeply satisfying and enlightening. Social, political, and historical commentary doesn't get much better than this."
