Barefoot In Babylon by Bob Spitz

An in-depth look at the making of 1969's Woodstock Music Festival--one of Rolling Stone's 50 Moments That Changed the History of Rock and Roll.

Mr. Spitz feeds us every riveting detail of the chaos that underscored the festival. It makes for some out-a-sight reading, man.--The New York Times Book Review

Almost fifty years ago, the Woodstock Music Festival defined a generation. Yet, there was much more than peace and love driving that long weekend the summer of 1969. In Barefoot in Babylon, journalist and New York Times bestselling author Bob Spitz gives readers a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Woodstock, from its inception and the incredible musicians that performed to its scandals and the darker side of the peace movement. With a new introduction, as well as maps, set lists, and a breakdown of all the personalities involved, Barefoot in Babylon is a must-read for anyone who was there--or wishes they were.

Bob Spitz is the award-winning author of The Beatles, a New York Times best seller, Reagan, as well as seven other nonfiction books and a screenplay.
