By all accounts Tokyo was a pretty lively place in the 60s. There was an active left-wing political scene protesting against everything from the U.S.-Japan Security Treaty to airport expansion; the Beatles and all the rest of that sixties stuff reached Japan too; and even the criminals seem a lot more exciting then than they are now. This book gives a year-by-year account of events and provides walking maps of the areas they happened in.
