description: Between 1965 and 1972 political activists around the globe prepared to mount a revolution from the Black Panthers to the Gay Liberation Front from the Yippies to the IRA. Rock and soul music supplied the revolutionary tide with anthems and iconic imagery; and renowned musicians such as John Lennon Mick Jagger and Bob Dylan were particularly influential in the movement. This is the definitive account of this unique period in modern history; a compelling portrait of an era when revolutionaries turned into rock stars and rock stars dressed up as revolutionaries.
