The bad trip : dark omens, new worlds and the end of the sixties
Riley, James, 1981-2021
Books
The sixties, for many, was a time of new ideas, freedom, and renewed hope - from the civil rights movement to Woodstock. But it all seemed to implode towards the end of 1969 and early 1970 amidst the Manson murders, the Zodiac Killer, and the tragic events of the Rolling Stones' concert at Altamont. With that, the hippie dream died - or so the story goes. In this book, James Riley explores the dark side of the counterculture, arguing that a seam of apocalyptic thinking lay just beneath the decade's psychedelic utopianism all along.
