There's a Riot Going On: Revolutionaries, Rock Stars, and the Rise and Fall of '60s Counter-Culture
Canongate BooksTrade Paperback
From the publisher's website:
Between 1965 and 1972, political activists around the globe prepared to 
mount a revolution, from the Black Panthers to the Gay Liberation Front,
 from the Yippies to the IRA. Rock and soul music supplied the 
revolutionary tide with anthems and iconic imagery; and renowned 
musicians such as John Lennon, Mick Jagger and Bob Dylan were 
particularly influential in the movement. This is the definitive account
 of this unique period in modern history; a compelling portrait of an 
era when revolutionaries turned into rock stars, and rock stars dressed 
up as revolutionaries.
