1960S IN MAPS (BRILLIANT MAPS) (HB)

Which countries were under a dictatorship? Where did the Beatles perform live outside the UK? Where were atomic bombs tested? What was the route of the Hippy Trail? The 1960s was a momentous decade whose legacy is colourful and enduring. Here is a book that maps those years - through their culture, their politics, their technological and scientific advances, their conflicts and their natural disasters. What emerges is a fresh and revealing portrait of a decade which saw enormous social change, seemed to offer boundless potential, but also had its darker side.
