Review
“A compelling account of the historic year.” —History Channel
“Kirkpatrick treats the tumultuous events of 1969 with the skills of a journalist, a historian, a sociologist, and a sportswriter ... Nostalgic for some, revelatory for others, this is a worthy addition to the literature of the 1960s.” —Library Journal
"The year, and a book, that defined an era...The subtitle of his new book, 1969: The Year Everything Changed, may sound hyperbolic, but Kirkpatrick makes a good case that it was a year ‘of landmark achievements, cataclysmic episodes and generation-defining events.'" —USA Today
