Encyclopedia of the Sixties: A Decade of Culture and Counterculture. Nearly 500 entries cover everything from the British television cult classic The Avengers to the Vietnam War and the civil rights movement. There was much more to the Sixties than flower power and LSD, and the entries in this encyclopedia were compiled with an eye to providing a balanced view of the decade. Thus, unlike works that emphasize only the radical and revolutionary aspects of the period to the exclusion of everything else, these volumes include the political and cultural Right, taking a more academic than nostalgic approach and helping to fill a gap in the popular understanding of the era.
