"The Stormy Sixties". The era of the unprecedented flowering of youth protest culture. The time of hippies, rock and roll, new philosophy, exotic Eastern religions, the anti-war movement, psychedelic experiments, the sexual revolution, the rise of feminism and the struggle for racial equality. The era, forever changing the way of life and the way of thinking, literature and art. But what made the “roaring sixties” possible? Why did time suddenly slip out of gear and give birth to an unprecedented number of rebellious geniuses who wanted to change the world and changed it, even if not quite as they dreamed? This is exactly what Theodore Roschak, “the wisest and most humane among historians,” tried to figure out. /p>
