And at the heart of all that controversy - the music, drugs, fashion, hopes, dreams and political movements - is sex. But were the 1960s really a great time of liberation, joyful experimentation and celebrations of youth? Growing Up takes an unflinching look at the dark underbelly of the sexual revolution. In this wide-ranging and eye-opening survey of the sexual landscape of the 1960s, Peter Doggett has assembled a dozen little-known stories that reveal how the sexual revolution transformed people's lives - for better or worse.
