1973 A Crazy Year Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2023 The facts and insights published tell a story of a generation that was creative, rebellious and fun-loving. So many changes that took root are well-documented and brung back memories that were long forgotten. Enjoyed reading the book and reliving the nostalgia! Great Overview With Details on That Pivotal Year Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2023 As I was a sentient somewhat mature being in 1973 this book is very relevant to me and probably eye revealing to anyone who came much later and never experienced what was and wasn't around and happening at that time. The Vietnam War, abortion RVW decision, Nixon second term and then the many factors that crashed the economy were certainly the hallmark events of the time as discussed. The rise of the hippie and anti-authority culture, hard rock, anti-war, feminism, and the Watergate scandal were certainly events that followed and key background is provided in each area. There are snippets of what the technology was like at the time, where everything look ancient and alien to folks today. Tell kids that there was no consumer cell phones, no PCs, no Internet, no digital consumer anything and they will call you a liar. All in all a very nice book that captures the entire environment of a truly pivotal year and time in history. Films and videos can get you the highlights but there are lots of details in this book to make it real in terms of products, films, music and statistics. The best book on 1973 out of all of them Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2023 I have read 4 books on this topic and thought this was the best researched and well written. Covered all the major events and induced nostalgia. Well done.
