Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

393, [9], pages. Illustrations. Index. No dust jacket present. Book is in three languages, English, German, and French. From Introduction - The Sixties saw good and evil harvests from the seeds sown in the previous decade. In South Africa, apartheid produced the Sharpeville massacre and the assassination of Verwoerd. Castro's revolution in Cuba produced the Bay of Pigs fiasco. The momentum created by the civil rights movement swept through the United States in the Sixties. In Britain, the golden days of Prime Minister "supermac" Macmillan and his consumer driven conservatism were abruptly brought to an end by the Profumo scandal. In China, Mao Zedong unleashed the Red Guard. In Africa, Nelson Mandela was jailed for life. The Greeks threw out their king. Violent death was the fate of Che Guevara in Bolivia, Adolf Eichmann in Israel, and the defenseless villagers of My Lai in Vietnam. In 1968 all hell broke loose. The Soviet empire was shaken but not awed by the Prague Spring. But there were also successes. Nick Yapp wrote: "I was a teacher for 27 years before realizing that I could make as much money writing as I could teaching, and that writers didn't have to do playground duty. While the achievements of humans being launched into space, orbiting Earth, performing spacewalks, and walking on the Moon extended exploration, the Sixties are known as the "countercultural decade" in the United States and other Western countries. There was a revolution in social norms, including religion, morality, law and order, clothing, music, drugs, dress, sexuality, formalities, civil rights, precepts of military duty, and schooling. Some people denounce the decade as one of irresponsible excess, flamboyance, the decay of social order, and the fall or relaxation of social taboos. A wide range of music emerged, from popular music inspired by and including the Beatles (in the United States known as the British Invasion) to the folk music revival, including the poetic lyrics of Bob Dylan. In the United States the Sixties were also called the "cultural decade" while in the United Kingdom (especially London) it was called the Swinging Sixties. The United States had four presidents that served during the decade: Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard Nixon. Eisenhower was near the end of his term and left office in January 1961, and Kennedy was assassinated in 1963. Kennedy had wanted Keynesian and staunch anti-communist social reforms. These were passed under Johnson including civil rights for African Americans and health care for the elderly and the poor. Despite his large-scale Great Society programs, Johnson was increasingly disliked by the New Left at home and abroad. For some, May 1968 meant the end of traditional collective action and the beginning of a new era to be dominated mainly by the so-called new social movements.
