About the Author:
Born in the wake of World War II, and reaching expressive peaks during the otherwise staid 1950s, the Beat Generation was the first in American history to defiantly break from the past and point the way forward for young Americans. Every subculture to emerge since owes a debt to the beats, who left an indelible mark on American history.
Alan Bisbort has worked as a writer and researcher for the Library of Congress since 1992, coauthoring The Nation's Library, the official guide for the Library's bicentennial, and contributing to The Civil War: A Library of Congress Desk Reference and The Library of Congress World War II Companion.
