商品簡介
Soon after independent bookstore Kepler's Books and Magazines opened in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1955, it became a meeting place for counterculture figures and a hot bed of radicalism in the 1950s and '60s. This narrative biography for general readers chronicles a generation of radicalism, resistance, and idealism through the life of the store's founder, Roy Kepler. Author Doyle, a reporter in Washington, DC, describes Kepler's work with the store and the roots of his pacifism and antiwar activism, based on the author's personal interviews with Kepler, which began in the 1980s, and on interviews with Kepler's son more recently. The book includes b&w personal photos and a few historical photos of civil rights and Vietnam War demonstrations. Annotation c2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
