Annotation

An original look at a pivotal year in America--on its fortieth anniversary.
This is the definitive book to chronicle 1969, the year that saw Apollo 11 land on the moon, the Mets win the World Series to become baseball's greatest Cinderella story, the student strike at Harvard, the first artificial heart transplant, Richard Nixon become president, the Manson family murders, the Woodstock music festival, Kurt Vonnegut's "Slaughterhouse Five," The Battle of Hamburger Hill, the birth of Led Zeppelin, and much more. It was the year that pushed boundaries--with sex and nudity in "Bullet Park" and "Hair," with the birth of the gay rights movement at Stonewall, and the dawn of a divide between the New Left and New Right that remains to this day.
Compelling, timely, and quite simply a blast to read, 1969 chronicles the year through all its ups and downs, in culture and society, sports, music, film, politics, and technology. This is a book for those who survived and thrived on 1969, or want to feel as alive as everyone who did.
