The Columbia Guide to America in the 1960s Hardcover - 2001
by David Farber; Beth Bailey
From the jacket flap
Because there are so many facets to this unique and transformative era, this volume offers multiple approaches and perspectives. The first section gives a lively narrative overview of the decade's major policies, events, and cultural changes. The second presents ten original interpretative essays from prominent historians about significant and controversial issues from the Vietnam War to the sexual revolution, followed by concise encyclopedia articles organized alphabetically. This section could stand as a reference work in itself and serves to supplement the narrative. Subsequent sections include short topical essays, a collection of fascinating charts, graphs, and comparative data, a chronology, and an extensive annotated bibliography with ample information on the best books, films, and electronic resources for further exploration.
With interesting facts, statistics, and comparisons presented in almanac style as well as essays by prominent scholars on core themes and topics, The Columbia Guide to America in the 1960s is the most complete guide to an enduringly fascinating era.
