3.5 stars. This book is incredibly informative which would make a great read for somebody who doesn't know a lot about the 1960s and wants to learn more.
However if you've read a lot of books about the 60s or lived through that period I would suggest you skip this book. If you know a lot about the 60s this book becomes very tedious because it's filled with things that you already know.
