This second volume in the acclaimed illustrated civic history of Madison, Wisconsin, tells the story of this iconic midwestern city in the middle years of the twentieth century. Like the rest of America in this period, Madison was buffeted by a boom-and-bust economy, hot and cold wars abroad, and social and cultural changes on the homefront. Stuart D. Levitan, a mainstay of Madison media and government since 1975, offers a decade-by-decade visual and narrative account of the city’s transformation—as well as that of its major public university. Featuring hundreds of illustrations, this volume also highlights the local legends and luminaries who shaped the city, from bootleggers to world-famous architects to radicals and revolutionaries.
