Book Synopsis
Among the most significant subcultures in modern U.S. history, the hippies had a far-reaching impact on American society. Their influence essentially defined the 1960s. Their enduring impact was the creation of a 1960s frame of reference among millions of baby boomers, whose attitudes, values and aspirations continue to reflect the hip ethos that informed their youth.

Trade Review
'John Anthony Moretta has written a very thorough study of the hippie phenomenon, and on the whole manages to be fair-minded in his descriptions and judgements of personalities and events. He doesn’t attempt to hide the misdemeanours and mistakes made by many hippies, nor does he fight shy of all the problems resulting from their excesses.' - Jim Burns, Penniless Press
