The Sixties Unplugged

The Sixties Unplugged: A Kaleidoscopic History of a Disorderly Decade by Gerald DeGroot, 2008.
Read this in June 2008.

Not one of the best books on the Sixties I've read but entertaining nonetheless. It seemed to focus more on what didn't happen and what was left undone. A decade of contrasts and bitter truths.

The book is a collection of different essays on a variety of subjects and very hit and miss. The analyses of rock music is bad and the insights on race relations misguided. Overall it is informative and interesting.
