Publisher's Synopsis

Presents first-hand accounts of major events during the 60s and interviews with Joan Baez, Abbie Hoffman, Krishnamurtie, Phil Ochs and Andy Warhol among others. Includes recollections of a war-battered young soldier through the steamy quagmire of Vietnam, the opening bash of John Wayne's first film, seeing Jack Kerouac booze himself into hallucinatory eloquence and the streets of Chicago during the 1968 Democratic National Convention. Captured in kaleidoscopic prose, this is the vanished world of America's revolt and its second adolescence.
