The Swinging Sixties, a maelstrom of sex, drugs and rock'n'roll. Pop and the Pill, the Maxi and the Mini, the Stones and the Beatles, Sharpeville, Dallas, Vietnam - the agony and the ecstasy, captured as only the camera can. An unparalleled collection of photographs drawn from the Getty Images collection.

This is a very substantial collection, which is distinctive for several reasons. Its shape is square, allowing many of the pictures to be the same shape; it is a paperback (but very sturdy); and the text is in three languages (English, Spanish and Italian). It's quite interesting to go through and see how the English captions translate into the other languages (and spot where the translation diverges from the original). There are nearly 400 pages, each with a single photograph (except for the occasional full page of text introducing each of the 13 sections). Very helpfully, the publishers have added a table of contents right at the back, where you can easily find that particular shot you are interested in. Finding your bearings is also assisted by the division into sections, each on a different topic. The sections are: 1. Movers and Shakers; 2. Conflict; 3. Protest; 4. Entertainment; 5. The Arts; 6. Pop; 7. Fashion; 8. Youth; 9. The Space Age; 10. Sport; 11. Children; 12. Guilt and Grief; 13. All Human Life.
