Kimball believes that the counterculture converted high culture as well as our everyday life in terms of stations toward tone and country, coitus and medicines, and mores and morality. Believing that this dramatic change can not be understood piecemeal from the attractive personalities who articulated its pretensions, he intersperses his argument with incisive pictures of the life and study of Allen Ginsberg, Norman Mailer, Timothy Leary, Susan Sontag, Eldridge Cleaver, and other artistic revolutionaries who made their mark.
For all that has been written about the counterculture, until now, there has not been a chronicle of how this revolutionary movement succeeded and how its ideas helped provoke moments of culture wars.
