MAKE LOVE, NOT WAR is the first full-scale history of how the Sexual Revolution changed life in America forever. A fascinating and frank portrait of private lives and public discourse, it traces changes from the deceptively repressive fifties, to the first tremors of rebellion in the early sixties, and the sexual rights movement of the mid sixties, to the heady heyday of the revolution (1969-73), and the counter-revolution in the early seventies. Covering the growing acceptance of pornography and sex guides, the rise of feminism, the role of religion in supporting and later condemning the revolution, the popularity of partner swapping and alternative sex scenes, the legal battles for sexual freedom, and the movement's intellectual underpinnings, this is the kind of well-written, entertaining social history that anyone fascinated by these events will enjoy.
