Having been a child growing up in the 1960s, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. The writing is engaging and the information is clearly presented. The author has done a fine job in making this book both interesting and informative. Chapters touch on every aspect of the decade: U. S. Foreign Policy, Civil Rights, Science & Technology, Social Change, Writing, Art & Design, Stage & Screen, Music and Sports. Profiles of famous folk are distributed throughout the book. Photos, which complement the text well, are printed in black-and-white or red brown-and-white. The book also includes a timeline, a selected bibliography, a “To Learn More” section, a “Selected 1960s Classics section and an index. A very useful resource as a research tool.
