Politically correct textbooks and Hollywood movies portray the 1960s as a momentous era of youthful rebellion and social upheaval. But this is a gross distortion. From popular culture to social views, throughout the 1960s America remained a conservative nation-and in many ways, extremely so. In The Politically Incorrect GuideTM to the Sixties, Jonathan Leaf takes you on a raucous tour of America's real social, cultural, and political life during that supposedly transformative decade. This myth-busting book shows how the decade's vaunted radicalism was, in fact, confined to a small group of isolated extremists who have rewritten the decade's history, casting themselves as the heroes. In truth, it was mainstream America-conservative America-that both quietly dominated the 1960s, and that has survived every outrage the radicals have tried to hurl against it. Sixties radicals might not find this book groovy, but for the rest of us, here's the unvarnished, politically incorrect truth about one of the most misrepresented decades in American history.
You think you know the 1960s. But did you know:
In the 1960s, America was overwhelmingly culturally conservative
The leaders of Berkeley's "free speech movement" were opposed to free speech-and capitalism and democracy, too
There was no sexual revolution in the 1960s
Show tunes and country singers were more popular than rock 'n' roll
Leading sixties peaceniks unabashedly celebrated Communism and violent crime
