The book focuses on struggles for freedom and independence, student protests, and civil rights movements, but also on cultural revolutions and musical events, from the Beatles to Woodstock, as well as scientific and technological innovations, culminating in the moon landing and medical advancements like organ transplants."--, Provided by publisher
