The 1960s in Maps by Gordon Kerr - Illustrated History of the 1960s Through Maps, Events, Politics, Culture and Social Change

The 1960s in Maps by Gordon Kerr is an illustrated look at a decade whose impact remains vivid and far-reaching. Presented through maps, it traces key moments across politics, culture, conflict, and scientific and technological change.

Synopsis

Structured around mapping, this book explores the 1960s through a wide range of questions and subjects, from which countries lived under dictatorship to where atomic bombs were tested. It also charts cultural and social landmarks, including where the Beatles performed live outside the UK, alongside international events such as the nations that boycotted the 1966 World Cup.

By bringing together politics, technological and scientific advances, conflicts, and natural disasters, it builds a portrait of a decade marked by sweeping social change, a sense of boundless potential, and a darker side.
