Get ready to break on through to the other side as critically-acclaimed playwright and journalist Jonathan Leaf reveals the politically incorrect truth about one of the most controversial decades in history–the 1960s. Life was more “square” than “groovy” and Dean Martin was topping the Billboard charts–not Jimmy Hendrix. In this blast from the past, Leaf exposes the lies and busts the myths propagated by the liberal establishment. Did you know:* The civil rights movement did little to improve the lives of average African Americans?* Most Americans actively supported the Vietnam War and the draft?* My Fair Lady was one of the most popular albums during the 1960s?The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Sixties proves the anti-Vietnam War sentiment and free love slogans that supposedly “defined” the decade were just a small part of the leftist counter culture. The mainstream culture was more politically incorrect–but you’ll never hear that from a liberal pundit or read it in a politically correct textbook.
