4.0 out of 5 stars
Good general overview of the Sixties,

This review is from: A Cultural History of the United States Through the Decades - The 1960s (A Cultural History of the United States Through the Decades Series) (Library Binding)
Even though this book is marketed to young readers (ages 9 to 12 according to Amazon), I found it to be a good general overview of the 1960s for adults too. It is not written in an overly simplistic style, and covers the usual topics of that era in quite an objective manner. For example, I was pleased that the book treats hippies in a sympathetic and balanced way, which many writers and documentaries do not. As the title suggests, it does emphasize events in the United States, yet does not totally ignore other countries. Also, it contains many appropriate black-and-white photos from the era, so it's enjoyable to browse through just for the photos. I was impressed enough with this book that I'm going to collect more of this series for myself, and I'm in my forties.
