Was the 1960s the most astounding decade in American history, as many believe? You decide, as you relive the epic events of the times in this sweeping collection from HISTORY™.

From the glamorous years of the Kennedy administration at the beginning of the decade to the triumph of the first moonwalk at the end, this comprehensive collection escorts you through the period’s world-changing events, including the Cuban missile crisis; the civil rights movement; the assassinations of John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King Jr.; urban riots; the Vietnam War; and the peace movement it fostered. No less dramatic were the decade’s cultural touch points: the Beatles and Bob Dylan, birth control pills and the sexual revolution, miniskirts, hippies, communes, the “Summer of Love,” LSD, and Woodstock.

Whether you lived through those heady, tumultuous years or want to see for yourself what went down, this riveting 14-DVD set will bring it all home.
