Sin, Sex and Subversion

In "Sin, Sex & Subversion," author David Rosen explores the transformative culture wars of 1950s America, where sex was perceived as a challenge to the nation’s moral fabric amidst the backdrop of the Cold War. Through in-depth profiles of figures like Liberace and Bettie Page, and utilizing diverse sources such as interviews and government documents, Rosen reveals how once-taboo sexual practices were integrated into society, evolving into a $50 billion industry. The audiobook delves into how these "outsiders" not only resisted prevailing norms but ultimately reshaped American values in profound ways.
