Not according to American nonfiction from that decade. Many books on cooking, diet and exercise, and housekeeping (including one from Phyllis Diller). Comedy from Bob Hope, Johnny Carson & Peanuts. The Kennedy presidency & assassination, and the rise of Nixon. There were only a few books suggesting the sexual revolution was evolving. Contrast this with the 1970s in my companion challenge (click on the link).
To capture the flavour of the era I used first edition covers as far as possible.
The table below details the year in which the book first appeared in the Nonfiction Bestseller Top 10. I have omitted duplicates & reference books
