Overview
In how many countries did the Beatles perform live? Which creatures became extinct during the 1960s? How did Bob Dylan come to name his sixth album, Highway 61 Revisited? Which countries were the major sources of immigration into the US in 1960 compared with the 21st century? Which US state had the highest number of casualties during the Vietnam War?
The 1960s were a momentous decade whose legacy is colorful and enduring. Here is a book that maps those years—through their culture, their politics, their technological and scientific advances, their conflicts and their natural disasters. Some of the maps are serious, some are fun, all are eye catching, and together they form a fresh and revealing portrait of a decade that saw enormous social change.
This is a decade that seemed to offer boundless potential, but gradually showed its unrest, with the rise of worldwide protest movements, shocking assassinations of political figures such as Martin Luther King and JFK, and conflicts erupting across the world whose ramifications continue to reverberate today.
