H19 - Unseen America: The Greatest Cult Exploitation Magazines 1950–1966 | Alan Betrock

Betrock lifts the rock on the American mid-century to reveal the squirming subculture of "sweat" magazines, men's adventure pulps, and sleaze tabloids that flourished in the shadow of the Eisenhower era. The book documents the lurid covers and hysterical headlines that fed the national appetite for vice while the mainstream pretended to be wholesome. It is a testament to the fact that the "good old days" were just as repressed and perverted as the present.
