A radio review of the decade as recorded by BBC microphones
Ten years that saw the wind of change blow through Africa and the growth of racial discord: the assassination of a president and the world on the brink of war over Cuba and the Middle East. But 10 years also in which man began the conquest of space and advanced the frontiers of knowledge faster and more widely than ever before; and in which, however precariously, world peace was preserved.
