This book was disappointing. His thesis is that 1959 is under appreciated as a year that was pivotal in political, social, and cultural changes in America. But 1959 itself is rather random -- most of the things he describes took place over a period of years, and he would find some sort of 1959 "hook" to make things look coherent. The book could easily have been "1958" or "1961." The idea that the 50's were not as staid and stable and that the 60's really "began in the 50's" is not particularly novel or new. I did learn some neat factoids about various artists and social movements but not much else about the book was that great. l
