Hester, Hugh B. | June 2, 1956 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents an overview of the 1956 issue of "The Nation." Gently but insistently, an idea is beginning to permeate the American consciousness: that the outlook is for peace with Russia, not war-and for a long time to come. If the concept is winning acceptance slowly, it is because America has lived in the shadow of war for two decades and more-preparing for war, fighting a war, preparing for another war, fighting that war, and continuing to prepare for wars to come. The notion that there will be no war with Soviet Union for a long time, if ever, is overwhelmingly attractive to the common man; but a fear of the consequences of peace persists.
