60 Years Ago – ‘Changin’ Times: 101 Days That Shaped A Generation’ by Al Sussman

On the 10 year anniversary of the release of Al Sussman’s book, ‘Changin’ Times: 101 Days That Shaped A Generation’, the world is still intrigued with the era.

Beatles expert and author Al Sussman is pleased to announce the 10 year anniversary of his first book, Changin’ Times: 101 Days That Shaped A Generation (Parading Press ISBN: 978-0-9892555-1-6).

Changin’ Times takes a look back 60 years ago at the 101 days from November 22, 1963 through March 1, 1964 and the after-effects of the John Kennedy assassination, the start of the 1964 political year, the instability in South Vietnam that would lead to the expansion of the war, the very early indications of the domestic turmoil that would come to define the ’60s, the technology of the times, and the pop culture British Invasion that preceded the musical one.

Amazon reviewers have called the book:

“…essential reading for any fan of twentieth century history and/or pop culture”

“…a well-researched, deep dive into American culture between the JFK assassination and the British Invasion.”

Changin’ Times: 101 Days That Shaped A Generation is available on Kindle for $5.95

A former radio analyst for ASCAP, Al Sussman is currently the Executive Editor of Beatlefan Magazine and has worked for over 50 years in an official capacity for the Fest for Beatles Fans.  Al Sussman lives in Pittsburgh, PA.
