The late sixties were a time of civil and social upheaval. Young men were forced into fighting an unpopular war while African Americans fought for equal rights. A new drug was discovered and a subculture grew out its hair. This fascinating book is divided into chapters based on a different aspects of the sixties with a quick introduction from the author, it mostly includes narratives from different participants in their own words. This immersive experience is completely fascinating and a very good way to tell this story. I would advise a print copy of this book over a digital copy. There are many names to keep track of and extensive footnotes at the end of each chapter which would have been easier to manage in a physical copy. This book is a great reminder of what this generation was fighting for. I received this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
