A social and cultural history of the Grateful Dead, America's greatest folk/rock institution, by a "National Book Critics Circle Award"-winning author. 8-page photo insert.

This tries to be two books at once, a memoir cum history of late sixties / early seventies radicalism from the author's perspective, and then a book about the Grateful Dead. The two don't sit together well, not least because the Dead were never really a political act. It's a shame, as there are the seeds of two decent books here, but neither come to fruition.
