The Turbulent 60s series explores a remarkably influential decade in American history. Each anthology in this 10-volume set covers one year from the 1960s and offers an array of primary and secondary sources that illuminate that year's major events and developments. The civil rights movement, the Vietnam War, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Kennedy assassination, the Woodstock music festival, and other social, cultural and political events are brought to life through primary documents and retrospective analysis. A short summary introduces each article and provides context and biographical information. A comprehensive introduction examines the prevailing trends and mood of the year.
