The 1960s had it all: cultural transformation, social upheaval, political unrest, technological leaps, and more. But until now, it’s never been brought to vivid life in such extraordinarily informative maps, brimming with I-never-would-have-thought-of-that insight and delectable illustrations that remind us why the 1960s was arguably the most consequential decade of the twentieth century. Some of the maps are serious (the terrible wave of assassinations), some are fascinating (Apollo 11’s harrowing journey to the moon and back), some are fun (the rise of soul, British pop, and folk music), and all are eye-catching. Together they form a fresh and revealing portrait of a momentous, enduring decade that changed the world in ways that continue to reverberate today.
