X Abstract

<P>When Americans talked about politics in the 1950s, they always seemed to be talking about sex.

Investigating the major cultural contributions of figures like Arthur Schlesinger Jr., Joseph McCarthy, JFK, and Richard Nixon, Cuordileone offers a sexy reinterpretation of cold war politics.</P>
