Description

The most tumultuous, colourful and groovy decade of the twentieth century - the glorious 1960s - celebrates its sixtieth birthday in 2020. Happy birthday! This book is a barely containable tie-dyed collision of good, dubious and amusing personal experiences and reminiscences, vividly presented in passionate opinions and vibrant pictures. Contributors span award-winning poets to the nation's most talented musicians, politicians, sport broadcasters, academics, educators - and even some eloquent ne'er-do-wells. From pop culture to politics, sport to science fiction, cars to cuisine; if you loved the 1960s then this book is for you.
