Subtitle of this is Watergate, Warhol, And The Birth of Post-Sixties America. Whatever! I guess the point is, a lot of events occurred in the year 1973, that changed America. I think you could pick any year in that era and say the same thing. Anyway, this book chronicles those news events that the author deems worthy. The most dramatic would be the unfolding of Watergate, and the later resignation of the President. Then the trivail stuff such as Warhol is covered. Interesting read, having grown up in that period, so I could easily recall my own perspective at the time. Not very well written though.
Grade - C
next up - Fountainhead by Ayn Rand
