Tomorrow-Land: The 1964-65 World's Fair and the Transformation of America (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780762788613)

This New York Times bestseller is a vivid account of the 1964-65 World's Fair in New York City, a spectacle that embodied the innovation, lunacy, hope, and fear of a dramatic twenty-first century decade--and one that pitted Robert Moses vs. Andy Warhol, brought the vision of Walt Disney together with the Merry Pranksters, featured an Audio-Animatronic Abraham Lincoln and real-life LBJ in the midst of the Civil Rights struggle, and featured much, much more. Tomorrow-Land entertains, informs, and illustrates how the 1964-65 World's Fair--inside its gates and just outside its gates--represents the cultural and political pivots taken by New York City, America, and the world during the 1960s.
