Book excerpt: During the turbulent 1960s, when much of the Western world was undergoing social upheaval and unrest, and years before computers, smartphones and the proliferation of modern-day guidebooks, two young men set off from their native England to work their way around the world. Their unique odyssey was crammed with adventure and incident, and many of their experiences were extraordinary-even by other seasoned travellers' standards. While most of the book is based on the author's personal experiences-different interests and employment sometimes took the friends their separate ways-it is basically the story of how the young men lived, worked and travelled in numerous countries, and of how they succeeded, despite all the odds, in attaining their goal. Above all, it is a story about life; hardship and happiness, frustration and fun, obstacles and opportunities, adversity, romance and personal fulfilment. Told in an easy to read, engaging way that is guaranteed to keep the reader interested and entertained throughout, this is a fascinating account of a unique, adventure-filled marathon world tour. The book is richly illustrated with both colour and black and white photographs.

Download or read book The Soviet Sixties written by Robert Hornsby and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2023-09-26 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of a remarkable era of reform, controversy, optimism, and Cold War confrontation in the Soviet Union Beginning with the death of Stalin in 1953, the “sixties” era in the Soviet Union was just as vibrant and transformative as in the West. The ideological romanticism of the revolutionary years was revived, with renewed emphasis on egalitarianism, equality, and the building of a communist utopia. Mass terror was reined in, great victories were won in the space race, Stalinist cultural dogmas were challenged, and young people danced to jazz and rock and roll. Robert Hornsby examines this remarkable and surprising period, showing that, even as living standards rose, aspects of earlier days endured. Censorship and policing remained tight, and massacres during protests in Tbilisi and Novocherkassk, alongside invasions of Hungary and Czechoslovakia, showed the limits of reform. The rivalry with the United States reached perhaps its most volatile point, friendship with China turned to bitter enmity, and global decolonization opened up new horizons for the USSR in the developing world. These tumultuous years transformed the lives of Soviet citizens and helped reshape the wider world.
