RaveChicago TribuneIn A Hard Rain, the estimable Southern journalist Frye Gaillard aims to capture a time when the nation was absorbed with racial violence, sweeping social change, a devastating war, assassinations and a cultural shift that is still playing out 50 years later. The title is from Bob Dylan’s iconic song, A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall, and his broad subtitle, \'America in the 1960s, Our Decade of Hope, Possibility, and Innocence Lost,\' is the umbrella for his...account of hundreds of stories, reflections and reports from a decade saturated with transformational events ... He is a gifted storyteller, and I’m giving copies of this book to my sons and daughter to help them understand how we got to now.
