{"product_id":"historical-dictionary-of-the-1960s-james-stuart-olson-9780313292712","title":"Historical Dictionary of the 1960s","description":"Few eras in U.S. history have begun with more optimistic promise and ended in more pessimistic despair than the 1960s. When JFK became president in 1960, the U.S. was the hope of the world. Ten years later American power abroad seemed wasted in the jungles of Indochina, and critics at home cast doubt on whether the U.S. was really the land of the free and the home of the brave. This book takes an encyclopedic look at the decade--at the individuals who shaped the era, the civil rights movement, the antiwar movement, the women's movement, and the youth rebellion. It covers the political, military, social, cultural, religious, economic, and diplomatic topics that made the 1960s a unique decade in U.S. history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Stuart Olson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 031329271X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313292712\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Greenwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/30\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 560\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.53h x 6.38w x 1.24d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/1998 pg. 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2000 pg. 1574\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAmerican Reference Bks Annual\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2001 pg. 190\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRec Ref Bks for Small\/Med Libr\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2001 pg. 90","brand":"James Stuart Olson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46962492014847,"sku":"9780313292712","price":83.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aeb0c47f-0bea-41ab-bd3c-0265d4d368e9.jpg?v=1750651609","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/historical-dictionary-of-the-1960s-james-stuart-olson-9780313292712","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
