  • "This historical dictionary of the Eisenhower Era features hundreds of entries on the people, places, organizations and events that shaped this period of relative peace and prosperity. B. Kaufman (history, U. of Utah) has teamed with D. Kaufman, a former librarian and teacher, to present objective descriptions of cultural, political and economic forces that dominated the Korean conflict, the Cold War and the Space Age. A chronology is also included, as are appendices that document the Eisenhower administrations and Amendments to the US Constitution made during this time."
