Edited by Wayne Andrews, this comprehensive reference work captures the prevailing historical narratives and interpretations of its era, reflecting the perspectives and biases of the time. As a primary source from the early 1960s, it provides valuable insights into the intellectual and cultural climate preceding the social upheavals of the late 1960s and the revisionist historical approaches that followed.

Despite its age, the book remains in commendable condition, a testament to its enduring value as a historical artifact and resource.
