I am not going to write an review on Goodreads as I have not completely finished this anthology. This is one of those books that are great for reading in spurts.

The 60s is the third installment of decade overview collections from The New Yorker. This installment contains a wide range of nonfiction articles, reviews, fiction and poetry from the 1960s. Topics vary and include the civil right movement, the counterculture, music festivals, Vietnam, computers and much more.

Overall, this is a great collection that explores all of the topics that made the 1960s still a huge talking point today. Getting more specific, some of the articles are a bit long-winded. It's also a little difficult to keep an interest in reviews on things that cannot be explored on your own, such as reviews of theater performances. Other than that, it is something that anyone looking for a snapshot of the decade should check out.

The variety of topics and of authors, both celebrated and little-known, makes this a useful and interesting anthology. I appreciated that the focus was not solely on U.S. history and culture but included a small sampling of essays looking at events in Nigeria, Palestine, Cuba and France. The profiles of notable individuals are especially interesting.

fabulous well researched account of the times.. I found it informative, educational and enjoyable to read. Very well done with extensive information and facts. Excellent historical reading.
