Celebrating its forty-fifth anniversary in 2014, 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 best-selling 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 that reflects on Woodstock forty-five years down the road, Barefoot in Babylon is a must-read for anyone who was at the famous festival---or wishes they were.
