Andrew Duncan's latest book from Shearsman, 'The Long 1950s', has been
recommended to me. I haven't yet read it myself, but you can find a
taster or order it at:
http://www.shearsman.com/pages/books/catalog/2012/duncan50s.html
while his blog contains material that has gone into the making of the book. See:

I certainly enjoyed the, er, panoramic sweep of the taster
