Woodstock by Mike Evans
It defined a generation, exemplified an era: Woodstock was unlike anything that has ever happened before or since. This legendary festival - where 32 of the best-known musicians of the day performed for an audience of nearly half a million - exemplified the counterculture of the late 1960s - early 1970s and the 'hippie era'. August 2009 marks the 40th anniversary of Woodstock and now readers can relive this monumental event and 'get back to the garden' with a day-by-day, act-by-act account of everything that went down on Yasgur's Farm. With interviews and quotes from those who were there the musicians, the fans, the organisers - and a wealth of photographs and graphic memorabilia, "Woodstock" is the ultimate celebration of a landmark in modern cultural history.
