Más información sobre el libro

The years 1965 to 1975 bracketed a wild and tumultuous period. It was a decade of revolution and experimentation, one that worshiped change and loved the new. There were battles--between young and old, swingers and squares, black and white, gay and straight, Green Beret and Viet Cong. There were conflagrations, coups, skirmishes, movements, wars, and revolutions. There was chaos and disruption almost everywhere. 'Ablaze - Ten Years That Shook the World' tells the crazy story of this revolutionary decade. The politics, the wars, the culture, the art, the fashion - all were transformed radically in these ten years. Richard Nixon battled Abby Hoffman, China's Mao Zedong battled Russia's Alexei Kosygin, J. Edgar Hoover battled Timothy Leary, Paul McCartney battled John Lennon. The book recounts in detail the drama of this exciting and unique era.
