ReviewsFrom the Decades of the 20th Century series comes this look at a revolutionary decade. There's not much organization here. The information is loosely arranged by topic: lifestyles, fashion, fads, politics at home and abroad, etc. Within each of the topics, there is a catchall of topics: Woodstock, free love, and 'the Mini and the Maxi: A Tale of Two Skirts' are all mixed together in the 'Lifestyles' section with other paragraphs of information about movie and television highlights. The text is well written, crisp and to the point. It's illustrated with black-and-white photos, many cut out, which makes for a casual design. This is more for browsers than report writers, but it is interesting reading. See the Series Roundup for titles on the 1970s and 1980s., Booklist October 15, 2000

SynopsisWhat do Woodstock, the Barbie doll, Aretha Franklin, the miniskirt, and the Black Panthers have in common? Each, in some way, helped to define a period of great change in American life. The decade that started with the election of the young President John Kennedy would end with race riots and violent protest of the war in Vietnam. Author Stephen Feinstein describes the triumphs, tragedies, fads, and fashions of the decade. From Martin Luther King, Jr. to bell bottoms, from the moon landing to the Beatles, Feinstein examines the people and events that made this decade one of the most unique periods in American history.
