By the Time We Got to Woodstock

A fast-paced, fun, and sometimes brutal look at America's most volatile and creative year in music - 1969: a time of euphoria and devastation, freedom and assassination, revolution and retribution, moonwalks and sit-ins, love-ins and race riots, sex, drugs, and guns. Idyllic college campuses became killing fields and inner cities went up in flames as the drumbeat of popular music tried to drown out the drums of war. "By the Time We Got to Woodstock" breathlessly documents a year that saw more music-as-manifesto and rock-as-revolution than ever before.
