description: The Sixties in America, surveys the events and people of the 1960's, a turbulent decade that had a profound and lasting effect on the life and culture of the United States. The set not only provides in-depth coverage of all aspects of the three major events of the 1960's that give the decade its distinctive character-the Civil Rights movement, the social revolution, and the Vietnam War-but also surveys important developments in the arts, science and technology, business and the economy, government and politics, and gender issues. In addition, to impart a sense of what people were doing and thinking during the decade, the set looks at the most important people and events in the arts, media, music, and sports and covers the headline-grabbing news items of the period.
