From Library Journal:

With a baby boomer in the White House, a work like this may have been inevitable. Kleinfelder, a Canadian with a degree in library science, provides a picture of the years 1947-75 through news, arts, sciences, and popular culture. Each year has sections for ten categories, including News, Science and Technology, Fashion, Popular Music, Movies, and Sports. The sections include obituaries, inventions, award winners, sports scores, new words, and Time 's Man of the Year. Though not as extensive or inclusive as James Trager's The People's Chronology ( LJ 3/1/92), which goes back to three million B.C., When We Were Young aspires more to capturing the era from Elvis through the Kennedys to Watergate. In this it succeeds, and, at the least, has a great future as a birthday gift. This boomer recommends it for general reference collections.
