The Market for this Book

The Market for this Book – its Appeal and its Uniqueness

Many people have written about the 60s as a phenomenon, ranging in quality from the trite to the profoundly perceptive, such as Theodore Roszak's “Making of a Counter-Culture”. A Google search throws up 196 million results! And Amazon's website lists 168,000 titles!

Naturally, many authors have written about specific events and people, such as the Vietnam War and President Kennedy.

Movies, TV and Books have shown us repeatedly that the Public has a huge fascination with this complex, inspiring and important period.

However, my research has shown me that no one has ever put together how much the 60s frightened the powers-that-be, and how concerted a campaign “The War on the 60s” has been. Certainly the title “The War on The 60s” has never been used. (Though there does seem to be a rock band in New York City called “At War With The 60s”....)

I currently have 3 completed sample Chapters and a Proposal available.
