The cross-winds of history were blowing strongly in the late nineteen-fifties when Alaska became a state. The Civil Rights Act was five years in the future, The Second World War was a vivid memory, and the Red Scare and the Cold War were going strong. A fascinating new book looks at this era through the eyes of a Fairbanks newspaper publisher. Author Terrence Cole will be the guest on the next Talk of Alaska.
