By James S. Olson
Few eras in U.S. background have started with extra confident promise and led to extra pessimistic depression than the Nineteen Sixties. whilst JFK turned president in 1960, the U.S. used to be the wish of the realm.

It covers the political, army, social, cultural, spiritual, fiscal, and diplomatic subject matters that made the Nineteen Sixties a distinct decade in U.S. history.
