1966 What a Year It Was!: Great Birthday or Anniversary Hardcover – 2015

WHAT A YEAR IT WAS! is a fascinating look at the headline events and news-making personalities of 1966. Told through compelling pictures and words, this lavish hardcover volume covers all of the year's biggest stories-the news, entertainment, sports, fashion, fads and people that changed our lives forever. Here, too, is the often overlooked trivia, as well as a generous sampling of vintage ads that will carry you back in time. 1966 was an exciting year in a turbulent decade. Beatlemania was in full bloom as the Beatles embarked on their last-ever concert tour. The west coast scene was on fire with the likes of the Beach Boys, The Doors and Janis Joplin. And the hits just kept on coming from Motown. Spies landed on TV as \"Mission: Impossible,\" \"The Man from U.N.C.L.E.\" and \"Get Smart\" connected with audiences. \"Star Trek\" blasted off, while Batman made the move from TV to the big screen. The booming entertainment scene served as a distraction from the escalating war in Vietnam and the draft, even as protests became more intense. The Black Panthers were founded and the fight for women's rights moved to the front burner. The 8-track tape cassette was the newest music delivery system, the Dodge Charger burned up the roads, Medicare was introduced, and Timothy Leary urged us to "Turn on, tune in and drop out.\" Twiggy was the first supermodel, miniskirts were all the rage, Sandy Koufax was winding up on the pitching mound. Oh, and did we mention nuns on scooters? Wherever you were or weren't in 1966, WHAT A YEAR IT WAS! 1966 will bring a sentimental smile to your face as you relive that very special time.
