Francis Beckett

What Did The Baby Boomers Ever Do For Us? (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

First published in 2010, this book explores the legacy of the baby boomers: the generation who, born in the aftermath of the Second World War, came of age in the radical sixties where for the first time since the War, there was freedom, money, and safe sex. The author argues that the children of the 1960s betrayed the generations that came before and after, and that the true legacy of the swinging decade is in ashes.
