The critically acclaimed, San Francisco Chronicle bestseller—a gripping story of the strife and tragedy that led to San Francisco’s ultimate rebirth and triumph.

Salon founder David Talbot chronicles the cultural history of San Francisco and from the late 1960s to the early 1980s when figures such as Harvey Milk, Janis Joplin, Jim Jones, and Bill Walsh helped usher from backwater city to thriving metropolis.

Review of 'Season of the Witch' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

A good history of San Francisco from 1960's to 1980's told through a series of chapters each focusing on a person or event. The book was amazingly researched and contains first hand accounts and amazing details. It felt more like a series of long blog posts than a single cohesive book, but worth reading to learn about Bill Graham, Patty Hearst, George Moscone, Harvey Milk, and many others who helped shape San Francisco to what it is today.
