Prime
green : remembering the sixties
Stone, Robert, 1937-
New York : Ecco, c2007.
A memoir of America's most turbulent, whimsical decade. From the New York City
of Kline and De Kooning to the jazz era of New Orleans's French Quarter to Ken
Kesey's psychedelic California, Prime Green explores the 1960s in all its weird,
innocent, fascinating glory. An account framed by two wars, it begins with
Stone's last year in the Navy and ends in Vietnam, where he was a correspondent
in the days following the invasion of Laos. The narrative zips from coast to
coast, from days spent in the raucous offices of Manhattan tabloids to the
breathtaking beaches of Mexico, and merry times aboard the bus with Kesey and
the Pranksters. These accounts of the sixties are riveting not only because
Stone is a master storyteller but because he was there, in the thick of it,
through all the wild times.--From publisher description.
Harvard New Book - B STONE
The
rest is noise : listening to the twentieth century
Ross, Alex, 1968-
New York : Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2007.
The scandal over modern music has not died--while paintings by Picasso and
Pollock sell for millions of dollars, works from Stravinsky's Rite of Spring
onward still send ripples of unease through audiences. Yet the influence of
modern music can be felt everywhere. Avant-garde sounds populate the soundtracks
of Hollywood thrillers. Minimalist music has had a huge effect on rock, pop, and
dance music from the Velvet Underground onward. Music critic Alex Ross shines a
bright light on this secret world, taking us from Vienna before the First World
War to Paris in the twenties, from Hitler's Germany and Stalin's Russia to New
York in the sixties and seventies. We follow the rise of mass culture and mass
politics, of new technologies, of hot and cold wars, of experiments,
revolutions, and riots. The end result is not so much a history of
twentieth-century music as a history of the twentieth century through its
music.--From publisher description.

Six
days in June the war that redefined the Middle East
Boston : WGBH Boston Video, c2007.
Although the fighting lasted for only six days in June of 1967, the effects of
the Six Day War are still apparent today. On its 40th anniversary, the region
remains trapped in conflict and is every bit as explosive as it was then. For
Israel, the 1967 war was a military success. But it also redrew the map of the
Middle East and mired the region in a never-ending cycle of occupation,
terrorism and reprisal. The Six Day War forever changed the politics of the
Middle East by helping to destroy the secular basis of Pan-Arab nationalism and
transform secular Zionism. It gave rise to a Palestinian nationalist movement
and helped unleash the fury of fundamentalism. Shot on location in Israel,
Palestine, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Moscow and Washington, this powerful film takes
us through the weeks that preceded the war, its six days of fighting and its
aftermath that still lingers today.

World
War II the epic battles
[Boston, Mass.] : WGBH Boston Video, 2007.
The Battle of Britain: Account of one of the most critical periods of World War
II. In the spring of 1940, Holland, Belgium, and France fell to Hitler's army.
The Soviet Union was Germany's ally, and the United States stood on the
sidelines. At this time of peril, it was Britain alone that faced the Nazi army.
Thanks to Britain's two great assets: its indomitable leader, Winston Churchill,
and the courage and resilience of its people--ordinary citizens who accomplished
extraordinary things, a nation's darkest hour became its finest. Through months
of intense air bombardment, including the "Blitz" of London, and under
permanent threat of invasion, the British people exemplified heroism under fire.
Battle of the Bulge: The last German counteroffensive of World War II was the
single biggest and bloodiest battle in U.S. military history. When it was over,
80,000 Americans were killed or wounded; German casualties were said to be twice
that. Inc: news reels and footage. Iwo Jima: During World War II, Iwo Jima, a
tiny island 660 miles from Tokyo, was defended by 21,000 Japanese soldiers
determined to fight to the death. The U.S. campaign, which began on February 19,
1945, was expected to last only a few days. Instead it claimed the lives of
nearly 7,000 Marines and lasted for over a month. Features interviews with
twenty-one veterans of the 1945 battle and rare combat footage.
