This volume is one of a set about the events, personalities, and cultural forces that shaped Americans' lives in the most complex and fascinating period in the country's recent history. The decade began with the optimism of John F. Kennedy's inauguration and ended in the disillusion of the Seventies; in between it encompassed such major events as the civil rights campaign, the Vietnam War, the Cold War, the space program, and the Woodstock rock festival. The sixties were many things for many people, from hippies to Native American, civil rights protesters to the moral majority. USA Sixties explores the contradictions and complexities of the decade. Much of the agenda for today's United States was set at this time, when to the young anything seemed possible, and sometimes was.
