Why read it?
1 author picked Prime Green as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This memoir paints a vivid picture of the sixties due to its author's excellent writing style and his immersion into the important events of the era.
One of the key factors for me and many other young people at the time was the war in Vietnam, where Stone served as a reporter. Later, he was closely associated with the sixties counterculture, including the exploits of Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters, which he describes in this absorbing and fascinating book.
From John's list on celebrating the psychedelic sixties.
