It was a year that pushed boundaries on stage (Oh! Calcutta!), screen (Midnight Cowboy), and the printed page (Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Sex), witnessed the genesis of the gay rights movement at Stonewall, and started the era of the “no fault” divorce. Richard Nixon became president, the New Left squared off against the Silent Majority, William Ayers co-founded the Weatherman Organization, and the nationwide Moratorium provided a unifying force in the peace movement. Compelling, timely, and quite simply a blast to read, 1969 chronicles the year through all its ups and downs, in culture and society, sports, music, film, politics, and technology. This is a book for those who survived 1969, or for those who simply want to feel as alive as those who lived through this time of amazing upheaval. 6318566 15 1 2009 1969: The Year Everything Changed total:10|5:3|3:5|2:2| 10 34 39 7 6139711 1602393664 9781602393660 10 7 3.40 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1237731863m/6139711.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6139711.1969_The_Year_Everything_Changed 3 0 false Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Jun 28 07:50:13 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 29 17:59:24 -0700 2009 6139711 1602393664 9781602393660 10 7 3.40 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1237731863m/6139711.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6139711.1969_The_Year_Everything_Changed 3 0 false Thu Mar 19 06:00:33 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 24 12:42:02 -0700 2009 6139711 1602393664 9781602393660 10 7 3.40 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1237731863m/6139711.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6139711.1969_The_Year_Everything_Changed 3 0 false Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 24 13:09:36 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 24 13:15:36 -0700 2009 6139711 1602393664 9781602393660 10 7 3.40 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1237731863m/6139711.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6139711.1969_The_Year_Everything_Changed 2 0 false Tue Jul 21 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 04 08:52:04 -0800 2009 Tue Jul 21 04:40:26 -0700 2009
