"Leftist culture-vulture and philosopher Eric v.d.Luft takes us on a season-by-season romp through the pop culture of that glorious and earth- shattering decade, reliving and analyzing the music, films, books, TV, and sports. Whether you actually lived through the era — as I did — or wished you had, this book will help you understand all the critical connections between the pop culture of the time and the history that was being made in Vietnam and in the streets. Die at the Right Time! will live on my bookshelf as an indispensable reference." — Mark Rudd, leader of the 1968 student takeover of Columbia University

"In the sixties the cultural front lines were an exhausting place to be.Sometimes I think I was too close to it all to have an effective overview.Eric v.d. Luft’s Die at the Right Time! is a smart, keenly insightful guided tour of the intricate subtleties and nuances of that explosive period." — Michael Tearson, WXPN DJ, 1967-1970; WMMR Music Director, 1970-1976
