Reviews

"Nowhere was the cultural upheaval of the 1960s more dramatically expressed than in the motion picture industry. Groundbreaking films such as "The Wild Bunch, Dr. Strangelove, "and "Easy Rider "marked a sharp contrast to the predominantly conventional fare of the previous decade. Monaco skillfully delineates this transformation."--"Library Journal"
