The Golden Age That was The Sixties and the Seventies

Author Walt Brown, a former sports journalist during the 60s and 70s, turbulent times, women’s equality rights, the Vietnam War that triggered national security and racial conflicts. The author made memorable and fascinating interviews not known in the mainstream media, basically, the “names” during that period, from sports to film and TV celebrities to influential politicians. They range from Muhammed Ali, and Jesse Owens, to Bill Cosby (before the scandal,) to Jerry Rice, Bob Hope, and George C. Scott. These were the most sensitive of times since broadcasting networks were “adjusting” to racial equality. Take a trip down to memory lane as Brown shares his most intriguing and intimate interactions with the 20th century’s well-known personalities that defined the course of athletics, entertainment, and politics significantly.

This is the era where various sports leagues rose to their greater heights, such as the NBA, NFL, PGA, MLB to name a few. As well as the popularity of television came into play where it became a new norm for news, sports, and entertainment updates. What made this read so compelling to pick up is the style of presentation.

The readers will also experience the feel of the times as you go along the memoirs of the authors. It’s more like pulling the book out from a time capsule.

The timeline of events was also included like any other history book but not as extensive as this material, such as the struggling racial inequality, women’s equal rights issues.
