Book description:
Say "the Sixties" and the images startcoming, images of a time when all authority wasdefied and millions of young Americans thought theycould change the world--either through music,drugs, and universal love or by "putting theirbodies on the line" against injustice andwar.
Todd Gitlin, the highly regardedwriter, media critic, and professor of sociology atthe University of California, Berkeley, has writtenan authoritative and compelling account of thissupercharged decade--a decade he helped shape as anearly president of Students for a DemocraticSociety (SDS) and an organizer of the first nationaldemonstration against the Vietnam war. Partcritical history, part personal memoir, part celebration,and part meditation, this critically acclaimedwork resurrects a generation on all its glory andtragedy.
