[Malcolm Frawley · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is an entertaining, & informative, read, even if you lived through the Sixties as I did. Dozens of short essays that can be dipped into at any time, & probably read in any order. The author moves around the world & his subjects include everything from Che Guavara to Mary Quant, & from The Black Panthers to Miss World. Most enjoyable.
