Which countries were under a dictatorship? Where did the Beatles perform live outside the UK? Where were atomic bombs tested?

Which nations boycotted the 1966 World Cup?

What was the route of the Hippy Trail? The 1960s was a momentous decade whose legacy is colourful and enduring. Here is a book that maps those years - through their culture, their politics, their technological and scientific advances, their conflicts and their natural disasters. What emerges is a fresh and revealing portrait of a decade which saw enormous social change, seemed to offer boundless potential, but also had its darker side.
