Life In The 1960S: The True Story

The 1960s was a time of intense change - in attitudes, acceptance, fashion, music and the arts, and almost every category of life. A unique era unto itself, it was a decade rich in pivotal events and history-makers. It was the decade when people landed on the moon; when the world lost an American President, his brother, and arguably the most famous civil rights leader in history, all through assasination; and the decade when two major global powers very nearly engaged in nuclear war.In this insightful, engaging, and informative memoir, author Steve Mandeli recalls his formative years growing up in the 1960s and experiencing its events, entertainment, music, and styles. Find out what it was really like dealing with what would now be considered "ancient" technology, and being at the mercy of questionable medical practices and unsafe cars, toys, and chemicals. See what we did with ourselves without today's conveniences, and what we thought "the future" would bring. Jam-packed with facts and trivia, including entries from the author's childhood diary, this journey back to a half-century ago will amuse, alarm, and educate readers from that era and those born well afterwards.
