Where can I buy a DVD copy of Making Sense Of the Sixties in the US?

It is not available from Amazon.com, I have already tried that avenue.

But why? One of the beauties of the 60s was that it didn’t make sense. It was a time of ferment and change, and the old rules were changing regularly.

Putting the 60s into a framework to make sense is corrupting the purity of history.

@Smitha many thanks but I want to buy from the US specifically because it is for my brother who lives there, NZ/Aus DVDs are region 4 and will not play in the US, I’ve made that mistake before.

@elbanditoroso But why? It is a wonderful series of programmes, I watched it myself and think my 15-year-old nephew who grew up in the US would find it utterly fascinating. I believe it is quite possible to put the 1960s into context without “making sense” of the era or putting it in a box, as I suspect you mean, it is very interesting to see the political and social climate that preceded the birth of so many movements.

@Valerie111 nice try, thank you, but the discs are region 4 and will not play in the US.

@pleiades Author? It’s a DVD not a book : ^)

http://www.sell.com/24DCLH I’m not sure about this one but it has been mentioned that all the DVD’s are region free and will play in any country.

@Smitha do you think that is genuine, is it a reputable site?

Smitha's avatar

@Adagio The site appears to be genuine. But I don’t know the genuineness of the seller:. Just don’t go ahead if you feel it’s scam.

@Smitha thanks for that, good advice.
