Summary:
Nothing more eloquently symbolizes the counterculture era than the peace sign. How did this simple sketch become so powerful an image? This book, published on the 50th anniversary of its creation, tells the surprising story of the sign in words and pictures, from its origins in the nuclear disarmament efforts of the late 1950s to its adoption by the antiwar movement of the 1960s, through its stint as a mass-marketed commodity and its enduring relevance now.--From publisher description.
