Recenzii
Oliver's engaging and thought-provoking survey explores the influence of Hindu spirituality on a generation of Western youth. In addition to providing welcome historical context, the book offers a number of important insights into the religious culture of those years. Anyone desiring a greater understanding of that period will find it a very satisfying read. It will appeal both to those who lived through those times and younger generations who've heard vaguely about them but want to know more.
