IN THE SIXTIES
Format: Paperback
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

This anthology looks at the Sixties and the momentous events that shaped the decade. It contains contributions from journalists who were active during this era. There are great political moments: Patrick O'Donovan on Churchill's funeral, Arthur Hopcraft on Kennedy in Ireland and James Cameron on his funeral, Claire Hollingworth on Algeria, "Private Eye" on the Profumo affair and Maurice Richardson on the Moors murder trials. Nick Tomalin and David Leitch turn their attention to Vietnam, while P. G. Cerney focuses on the crushing of the 1968 uprising in Prague and Mary Kenny on the Paris riots of the same year. Alistair Cooke describes Martin Luther King's funeral. Culture is also featured: a "Daily Telegraph" article on "Swinging London" and a "Guardian" article on Mary Quant set the scene. Here too are Maureen Cleave on John Lennon, John Gale on Harold Pinter, "The Times" music critic on the Beatles' songs, and Auberon Waugh on "Private Eye" small ads. Hunter Davis, John Mortimer, Alan Coren, Max Hastings, Irma Kurtz, Penelope Gilliatt and others also provide contributions.
