Close look at the revolutionary change in our culture among the 70s young generation.
Haven't read Michener in a lot of years. I never saw this one among all his others, and thought I'd give it a try. Turns out it's all about the youth of the 70s...how they thought...why...and what they did. I was one of them. Much fun for me to revisit all of that now, through this book.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
