A True Reader!

I found this to be an exellent primer on the 60's. Not only are many of the big names covered like MLK, Timothy Leary, and Hunter S. Thompson but lesser voices are heard too. I also enjoyed the divisions of the book into sections like Civil Rights, Counter Culture, and Drug Culture. Along with the books mentioned in the introduction this Reader provides many directions to go in understanding the 60's.
